This two-storey residence at 83 Brougham Street was built in 1924 for James John Lomas (1881-1958), the owner of the 'Kash' Menswear. New Plymouth architect Thomas H. Bates was responsible for this house and also designed the Kash's Devon Street retail premises.
A permit for a house on Town Section 763, Brougham Street, was granted to J. J. Lomas by the New Plymouth Borough Council on 19 November 1923. Frank Amoore was the builder/contractor, and the estimated construction cost was £2600.
One of four neighbouring homes constructed by Amoore on Town Sections 763 and 764 in 1923-24: 83 Brougham Street, 85 Brougham Street, 7 Hempton Street and 9 Hempton Street.
