Location
Much of the original Victorian detailing is still evident in number 22. The original masonry and cast iron fence, typical of the 1870s, still remains. Number 23 (since demolished) was owned by William R. Hubble who was a successful South Australian travelling salesman. Between 1912 and 1937, 22 Esplanade became Holdfast Bay College (Preparatory) run by Mr. and Mrs. Hill. Their private residence was upstairs whilst downstairs were two classrooms. The beach and front lawns were the boys’ recreational spaces.
