Constructed in 1903, the house was designed for Henry Hains by architect James Alfred Cope-Christie. Hains was an editor and accountant who immigrated in 1888.
The site occupied two stands in what was then an up-market middle class suburb. In 1933, the third owner, Mrs Socher, tore down the outbuildings, stables and garden and built a second house.
In 1942, Hains House itself was sub-divided into two units.
