Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Historic building recording comprised physical technical analysis to produce drawn survey, descriptions of the building and photographic survey. This was supported by documentary and cartographic research. The site was found to have contained earlier buildings (a house with outbuildings and orchard), removed in the later 18th century. The existing building includes a primary range constructed of yellow gault brick which at construction comprised a two-storey, classically symmetrical house with steeply pitched roof fronting onto the street. It was built shortly after 1807, with a light-industrial range added at a similar time adjoining along the street front. Further ranges added throughout the 19th century include a probable stair turret and industrial / service ranges. The functioning of the house is interesting to trace and for most of the 19th century appears to have been a farmhouse, although during the ownership of the Wise family was used as a ladies’ school and temperance hotel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Changes throughout the 20th century saw the building denuded of almost all historic fixtures and fittings so that the building survives as a shadow of what must once have been a well-appointed town house, although enough evidence survives to contribute to an understanding of the development and use of Wellington Street throughout the 19th century.
