Poolman Street Houses

The Garden City development was the first mass provision of housing on a single estate constructed in Victoria, initiated by the State Savings Bank of Victoria . The purchaser was generally required to pay a deposit of 50 pounds upfront, paying the remaining sum off in monthly instalments. This image shows three houses from the first stage of development in 1927.
