Located at the corner of Richmond Street and Elmore Road the house predates the terrace on the right and juts out. It is the last remnant of Chates Farm which operated here until its closure in 1934, the last working farm within the old parish boundary of Brighton. It pastured its dairy herd in two fields; one bounded in a triangle of land formed by Liverpool Street, Albion Hill and Richmond Street; the other was located in a square field known as Tarner Land that was bounded by Apollo Terrace, Richmond Street, Windmill Street and Sussex Street. The former has largely been built on though an area of land is still used as allotments whilst the latter is now covered by an estate built by the council in 1931.
