Built for Edward Hepden Brodripp, Auctioneer, in about 1913. The house was subsequently divided into 4 flats and was returned to a single residence in 1987. The site was subdivided in 1952 with the cottage fronting The Grove being separated from the main site. Edward Brodribb was an auctioneer and owner of a furniture warehouse at 772 George Street, Sydney. He was an early member of the Balmoral Beach Club and his wife was a founding member of the Mosman Croquett Club.
