Berridge Residence, 9 Huatoki Street (circa 1907-08)

This villa was for many years the home of William George Berridge and his family. 

Berridge seems to have shifted to Vogeltown about 1907-08, and it is thought the present villa was probably constructed around this date - Berridge first appears as residing in Vogeltown in the 1909 edition of Stones Street Directory and is first rated for water to a house on Pt Section 60, Vogeltown, during the 1908-09 rating year.

A rating book for 1913 notes the value of the property as £26.
