This property was acquired by bookbinder Herbert James Short in December 1905, and the house built within the next few years. Herbert Short had taken up residence by 1908. The house was located in what was then known as Short St, later becoming Laurier Street. The house was transferred to the name of Herbert’s wife, Netta Short in 1912, and still remained in the family ownership at the time of listing.
