Everything tagged: 17 Broadwood Road

Broadwood Road came into being in 1915 and was an exclusive development of elegant colonial-style houses, either bungalows or two-storey, on the Broadwood ridge.  Because of their raised elevation, these houses enjoyed cooling breezes and pleasing views, and were built with the wealthy in mind. 

Number 17 was built sometime after 1915 and it was a bungalow.  The bungalows typically had four rooms with kitchen, two bathrooms and servants' quarters.   A small path from the front door led down to Broadwood Road.
