That's right. It was adjacent to Ballinode (Ballindae was probably a misspelling in 1901 map?) (present Eva Court + Morning Light Apartments).

The western half once bore the name of Scarteen. It was demolished slightly earlier than its eastern counterpart, to make way for Happy Mansion (mainly).

The eastern half was also demolished in 1-2 years later to be rebuilt into Hong Lok Mansion (mainly).

IL 1388 also used in the street index, so the old maps mentioned above look to have had the typo:

1938 - MacDonnell Rd
