446 Lisgar


446 Lisgar was built some time during the first decade of the 20th century. It is listed in the 1909 Might Directory as home to "sergt of police"  Benjamin McCarthy. Goad (1912 sheet 55) portrays #446 as a simple two-storey brick-on-wood house.  Mismatched brickwork confirms that the facade we see here encloses what were originally open verandas.

The hip-roofed neighbour at #440 was shoe-horned in some time after 1933.
