This house was known as Raymond's Cottage or Miss Raymond's Cottage.

Built about 1850, it was a timber house with brick nogged walls and an attic upstairs. It had two doors and three windows at the front, a picket fence and flat verandah columns.

The Raymond family occupied the house for many years.

A ghost was reported to have been seen by a child in the 1960s. When the family heard their child talking to someone upstairs, they went to investigate. When asked who they were speaking to, the child replied that they were talking to "Fred".

It was demolished in 1982 and a Pizza Hut built on the site, now the Al Jannah Restaurant.
