My great grandparents, Dr John Sampson Levis and Ellen Swanton Levis, first lived here around 1886. The family also lived at Percy St for a time but Dr John's 1919 death registration says he died at Hurd St. I imagine he made use of the stables to house a horse and trap in order to rapidly attend patients, accidents etc.
