Gem of Oakleigh land auction poster for 45 villa and mansion sites, 31 October 1888
Creators: Bruford and Braim, Authorised Surveyors & C., 67 Chancery Lane, Melbourne
Text includes:
"The Gem of Oakleigh is situated at the corner of the Convent Road & Warrigal Road, and is the finest estate ever subdivided at Oakleigh. The most magnificent views are obtainable from every lot.
The value of this estate is determined by the fact of its being right in the centre of the business portions of Oakleigh, the Warrigal Road being the main business thoroughfare....
Five railway lines will shortly terminate at Oakleigh.
The Fern Tree Gully tramway will start from Oakleigh.
Prices will soon double and treble, so don't miss this chance."
Notes:
This estate is the western side of Warrigal Road and therefore sits just beyond the boundary of Monash City and in current-day suburb of Chadstone.
The Convent Road, Pine Street and Elm Street no longer exist. Instead, there is Castlebar Road (previously listed in the Melways as Castle Bar Road), Camira Street and Carrum Street.
