The Title was lodged in the Office of Titles as part of the Crown Portion Twelve Parish of Keelbundora County of Bourke. As of now the Certificate of Title is classified as “DESTROYED Cannot be used for any legal purpose. Converted to ECT.”
The Certificate of Title contains a measurement in feet and inches of the lot in relation to McFadzean Avenue and O’Connor Street, with the lot being shaded in red.
The property’s mortgage was held by Director of War Home Services for various periods, however general research indicates that after World War I, the War Service Homes Commission not only built houses for returned soldiers but assisted with low-interest loans (Source: City of Darebin Heritage Study Volume 1 Draft Thematic Environmental History Stage 2 Report August 2008). Furthermore, in the period after World War II, finance was also made available for privately developed dwellings (Source: eMelbourne). One or more of the proprietors may have utilised this government initiative.
