Named after a distinguished army general with an interest in horseracing, Broadwood Road came into existence  in 1915.  It was an exclusive development of elegant colonial-style houses, either bungalows or two-storey villas, on a ridge overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse.  Because of their elevation, these houses enjoyed cooling breezes and pleasing views, and were built with the wealthy in mind.
