Circa early 1900′s of the late Victorian era, ‘Yesterday on West’ presents a rare opportunity to secure yourself a historical character home situated on a large 847m2 allotment on the fringe of Toowoomba’s CBD. Retaining most of the property’s original features, character and charm, an extensive renovation to the home over a 2 year period approximately 15 years ago and in more recent years the kitchen, saw this significant home restored back to its former glory of yesteryear, with a seamless blend of modern conveniences.

Originally built by Abby Roessler who was a manager at the local Perkins Brewery, since construction, the property has been the home to some well-known Toowoomba locals. The first of these known owners was Jim Pigott and his family, grandson of Michael Piggott who was the founder of the renowned local retailer Pigott & Co in 1896, Jim was a managing director of the business after the war and was a driving force in the commercial development of Toowoomba throughout the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s. The second of these owners for many years was the Betros family, owners of the local fruit and vegetable store Betros Bros.

Oozing character, history and architecture with a wide entrance staircase, L-shaped bullnosed front verandah, wide central hallway, 12ft ceilings with timber VJ walls and ceilings, polished hoop pine floors, stained glass windows, open cast iron fireplace with original feature tiles and a cast iron wood burning stove, the character of this home is equally matched by the generous proportions throughout all the bedrooms and living spaces.
