Waverley Park Estate, 5th May, 1951

Flyer for auction of housing estate subdivision in Mount Waverley, 1951, with plan showing street names including Brand, Quaintance, St John Wood, Russell, High, Allister. Note that Russel Street is now named Armstrong Street, as explained in the Waverley Streets Database.

 

"Probably named after Jim Armstrong who worked on the property owned by Harry Russell Hore before subdivison. This street was originally shown as Russell St. on the subdivision plan and the Morgans 39th but the name was changed because of confusion with another Russell St, South East (off Forster Rd). QQQ. Lots at the western end formed part of the Pickwick estate."
