53 Barolin Street – a part of local history
With the help of Meech Constructions, we’ve lovingly restored 53 Barolin Street to make it fit for a modern medical clinic. It’s obvious from her high, ornate ceilings and grand front porch (pictured left) that she has a few stories to tell. Curious to learn more, we’ve been asking long-term locals about her history. We’re led to believe the building was originally the home of local businessman Bill Schoch Snr, and later became the premises for accounting firm Schoch Schoch and Hancock. The financial firm evolved with new partners, and is today known as Ulton. Mr Schoch was actively involved in Friendly Society Private Hospital. In 1966, Ron Hancock established a building society that is now Australia’s tenth bank (Auswide Bank). Several locals recall playing amongst the rose bushes in the front yard and climbing on a large frog ornament as children. More recently, the building was the office of property valuer John Logan and Associates.
