History

The land on which Avondale now sits was auctioned by the Crown in November 1893. The Avondale house was built c. 1900.^[1] It passed through a succession of owners as a private residence, and was briefly operated as a private hospital (1924) and private school (1929).^[2]

A section 130 order was placed over Avondale on 9 January 1981 to prevent its demolition. Under section 132 of the Heritage Act the owner gave notice of his intention to demolish the building. On 27 February 1981 an Interim Heritage Order was placed over the building.^[1] On 14 January 1982, the Heritage Council approved an application to renovate Avondale and incorporate it into a town house development to the rear of the site and of the neighbouring site. This development was later deferred and did not proceed.^[1]

On 14 May 1984, the Heritage Council approved an application to use Avondale as offices and for external treatment of the building and fencing. It remains as commercial offices in 2018.^[1]

A Permanent Conservation Order was placed over the building on 18 February 1983. It was transferred to the State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.^[1]
