About Euroma
This land was once part of John Glade’s grant of 1802 and later became Lots 19 and 20 of the Glades Ville Estate.
Purchased by William Lowther on 9 October 1877, the land was transferred on 31 October 1879 to Thomas Smedley Pidding, who was a telegraph inspector, an Alderman on Ryde Municipal Council (1889-1891) and Mayor in 1896.
By April 1880, there was a house on the property known as Euroma Cottage in 1883. Prior to the Presbyterian Church being built, meetings were conducted in this cottage. Pidding occupied the house until his death in 1922, and his wife, Jane O’Donnell Pidding stayed until her death the following year. The house displays an interesting variety of architectural detailing.
