Federation Queen Anne
Circa 1910 to 1915
The first owner of the house was John Holcombe, a plasterer from Balmain who apparently moved in after his marriage to Vera May Pride in 1916. The house still carries an embossed copper name plate, Corelli, and it remained in Holcombe family ownership until 1981. The façade has a circular leadlight feature window. The origin of the name is not known. One may ask if it was named after the Italian composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713). If so, what was the connection?
This house is associated with politician Rodney Mark Cavalier, elected to the State seat of Fuller, later redrawn as Gladesville, representing the Labour Party in 1978. He was Minister for Education from 1984 to 1988 in the Wran and Unsworth governments and resided here for a few years.
