Re: A terrace of eight four-storey buildings
There were predecessors on this place : 13 - 27 Cameron Road Houses (1st gen.) [c.1895-c.1923] (I've made a place for it). Possibly the 1920 map still shows the first generation. The new houses appear first on a 1927 photo.
Demolition dates
According to Centadata, new houses on 15, 17, 19-21, and 35 Cameron Road had dates of first occupation between 4/1956 and 2/1958.
Thanks Klaus, I've updated
Thanks Klaus, I've updated the page with your extra information.
I searched the 1920-29 PWD annual reports for 539, the lot number, but didn't find any matches.
Re: 13-27 Cameron Road
The first and second generation buildings on 13-27 Cameron Road were also known as Cameron Terrace.

(2) Second Generation - 1938 Street Index Page 219 or Image 393
(Update 2025. Noticed at the eastern end of the taller Cameron Terrace (2nd generation) building here just prior to Stockwell Villas are semi-detached houses which also formed part of Cameron Terrace. These houses likely had an address of 25-27 Cameron Road at the time.)
