Circa early 1900's of the late Victorian era, 'Yesterday on West' presents a rare opportunity to secure yourself a historical character home situated on a large 847m2 allotment on the fringe of Toowoomba's CBD. Retaining most of the property's original features, character and charm, an extensive renovation to the home over a 2 year period approximately 15 years ago and in more recent years the kitchen, saw this significant home restored back to its former glory of yesteryear, with a seamless blend of modern conveniences.

Originally built by Abby Roessler who was a manager at the local Perkins Brewery, since construction, the property has been the home to some well-known Toowoomba locals.

The second of these owners for many years was the Betros family, owners of the local fruit and vegetable store Betros Bros.
