About Ellesmere
The National Inventory rates Ellesmere Regional, one of 122 in Gillabbey. Ellesmere dates from 1880–1920. 37 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
This house is a fine example of the quality and style of housing which was built in this area as the city spread west to form a new fashionable suburb. In common with most houses along College Road, it is set back from the streetline, to allow for front gardens, which would not have been possible in the city proper.

Questions about Ellesmere
Is Ellesmere on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20866179).
Can you visit Ellesmere?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Ellesmere built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1880–1920.
Is Ellesmere protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
