Description:
Hillview, on the Pacific Highway Turramurra, was built for Edward Paul. later convreted into a guesthouse and later convreted into flats, now leased to the Health Department. The house was featured as a private residence in Our beautiful homes, N.S.W. originally published ca.1905 but soon afterwards became a genteel boarding house. It was described in The Home magazine in December 1931 as "the most notable guest house on the picturesque north shore line" where "for twenty-five years its hospitable doors [had] offered a welcome to those who demand a high standard of comfort in their daily lives". It was demolished for home units in the 1970s. [ref: Pauline Curby and Virginia Macleod the canopy: a centenary history of Ku-ring-gai Council pp.80-81].
