Elm Tree House was the first building on this site, probably built in the late 1850s. The land on which it was built was part of a larger plot which was purchased by Henry Cox in 1854, and came to be known as Cox's Clump. Henry Cox was a carpenter and may have worked on the house himself. Although Elm Tree house was demolished about 1950, it is clear from photographs that it was almost identical in design to Chapel House, 43-45 Gold Street which is known to have been built by a member of the Branson family, local builders, so it likely that Elm Tree House was built with Branson help. Like Chapel House, Elm Tree House provided two dwellings, one larger than the other.
