The houses, originally sited in the southern New South Wales town of Tocumwal were relocated to Canberra in the 1940s to address a housing shortage.
The vast majority of the approximately 200 houses were relocated to a small precinct of the Canberra suburb of O'Connor.
This area—covering 8 small cul-de-sacs,—is known as the Tocumwal Heritage Precinct.
