Constructed circa 1881, ‘Eridge’ was the home of Walter Scott, teacher and later school inspector and inspector of orphanages. The Scott family were the first residents of Mowbray Terrace, though others followed from the mid-1880s with the sale of residential allotments in the ‘Mowbray Town Estate’. ‘Eridge’, or ‘Masterton’ as it was sometimes known, remained the property of the Scott family until 1980. The house is a fine example of a late nineteenth century timber cottage, featuring a steeply-pitched corrugated iron gable roof.
