Plaque text:
In 1875 John Farrelly, builder and architect purchased four blocks of land in Limestone Street and progressively built four brick houses on them, now numbers 103 to 109 Limestone Street. Penrhyn was built in 1879 and was rented before Farrelly and his wife Susan resided there from 1884. The house design makes it appear earlier than its actual date of construction and it is probably built partly from demolition materials. The bricks in No. 103 appear very old and the concave curve of the verandah roof is more typical of an earlier style. Farrelly died in this house in 1904 and the Limestone Street property passed to his widow Susan until her death in 1908.

The four houses plus a cottage in Waghorn Street (since demolished) were auctioned in late 1908 to settle the estate and No. 103 was bought by the Watson family several months later. Later owners include the O’Keefes, Parcells and Macadams. Conservation work was carried out in the early 1990s. At this time, it was converted into a professional office and a small extension was built on the western side to allow kitchen and bathroom facilities to be relocated from the northern verandah.
