This was the first house on Pryor Street which was located at the corner of what is now Commercial Place on the eastern side. Originally there was another house adjacent but it had been moved by the time of the 1951 aerial survey. The house was also the first home of Russell Yeoman who had been newly appointed to the Shire of Eltham and this house belonging to the council was vacant and made available to him for four weeks before it was relocated to Susan Street just south of the bowls club and was used a child care centre associated with the Living and Learning Centre (Russell believes). Russell then moved into another council owned house at the corner of Susan and Bridge Streets.Digital file only; created from original colour positive slide transparencyeltham, streets, houses, pryor street, susan street, fe holden sedan, russell yeoman collection
