Photograph taken next to 2 Paterson Street (visible on right) during early works for the Mt Victoria Tunnel. At this stage the land adjacent to the property was to be pedestrian access between Dufferin Street and Paterson Street, though was further developed in the 1950s to the current configuration where Paterson Street extends directly to Dufferin at the Basin Reserve.
The house at Number 2 was later used by St Mark's Church Preschool, who referred to it as 'Selwyn House'. It was removed from the site in 1993 when the school built newer classrooms on the site.
