This transitional style villa was constructed for cabinetmaker Albert E. Goodacre in 1914-15. It was originally located at present 28 Tukapa Street, Westown.
A permit for the construction of a residence on Lot 9, Tukapa Road [sic], was granted to A. E. Goodacre by the Borough Council on the 17th of December 1914 - the estimated construction cost was £500.
Albert Goodacre first appears as living at this location in Tukapa Street in the 1916 edition of Wises Street Directory, and last appears in 1926. From 1927 until the mid-1930s, seedsman Arthur Robert Davis is listed as the occupier, and from the mid-1930s until the 1950s Mrs Jessie M. Vince is listed as the occupier.
In about 1989, the house was relocated to its present location in Hursthouse Road to enable the construction of the present three townhouses on the section.
