18.01.2022 We have a spooky history special for you today... Victoria House was built in 1882 as a luxury residence for a successful gold miner, Jacob Pearen. It was situated on the corner of Victoria and Clifford Avenues, Woody Point. It was known by many names, including the Wedding Cake House, and even the Lighthouse. But locals referred to it as the Ghost House. ... What became of the mansion remains a mystery during those years, and unfortunately, the building was mysteriously burnt down in 1968.
