Our homes are our private spaces where we express something of who we are. The past occupancy of the 100s of residents who lived at Susannah Place is still very much evident in the many layers of wallpaper, paint, floor coverings, alterations and repairs that have survived.

Each of the houses has six rooms with toilet, laundry and washing facilities located in the backyards. Although similar in layout each of the four houses has its own unique character reflecting the changing needs and uses of successive families. A coat of paint, a new layer of linoleum, the installation of electric light, rudimentary repairs on doors, the countless nails in the walls for hanging pictures and marks of where furniture once stood all give a glimpse into the lives of past tenants, the fashion of the eras in which they lived and their desire to make these spaces their own.
