Broadwood Road came into existence  in 1915.  It was a development of colonial-style houses, either bungalows or two-storey villas, on a ridge overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse.  

Number 7 was a two-storey villa.  These houses typically had several rooms with a kitchen, two bathrooms and servants' quarters at the rear.  It seems to have had a roofline ornate with finials.
