This bungalow was constructed for clerk Percy Shepherd in 1934, and was originally located at 159 Courtenay Street (148 in old numbering).
On the 21st of June 1934, a permit for the construction of a house on Part Town Section 1471, Courtenay Street, was granted to Mrs V. E. Shepherd by the Borough Council - the contractor was J. H. Shepherd, and the estimated construction cost was £500.
On the 6th of May 1972, the house (along with the house at present 63 Pohutukawa Place) was relocated to its present location in Bell Block.
