Henry Frencham, who made his fortune in gold and is described in some quarters as the founder of Bendigo, commissioned the building of 18 Berry Street in 1886. In the late 1970s and early 1980s the house was a group household shared by, amongst others, members of the new wave band The Ears. In 1986, the house's centenary year, it was used in the filming of Richard Lowenstein's Dogs in Space, based in large part on the house's share house years in the late 1970s.
