1 large black and white photograph, 1 sepia postcard- showing house with picket front fence.Written on back of black and white photograph: "About 69 Warrandyte Road." Written on back of Postcard: "The Crag, 69 Warrandyte Road, Ringwood." Early Borough of Ringwood Rate notices show that Thomas Brierley was the owner of the property from 1938 to 1949. Tenants included Louis Lampert, Chiropractor, known as Thomas (Tom) Henry Lampert although his birth name was registered as Louis Heinrich Thomas Lampert, something he was unaware of until after his father died in 1922 when he was 28 years old. Also a McCann family member resided in the house.

Lyon Bros Eltham Motor Garage originally opened as an old tin shed garage in 1923 alongside Dave Lyon’s weatherboard home, a Californian bungalow at present-day 856 Main Road, Eltham in the dip between York and Henry Streets - there was a wood yard and garage at the back. That house remains standing today (2026). It later became a Chiropractor’s practice now operating as Eltham Cosmetic Clinic. Earliest advertisements for the business date from March 1923 – advertise that they have opened a motor garage near the post office, where a car or petrol may be procured day or night, and repairs effected. (The Advertiser, 2 March 1923) Between May 1942 and December 1945 [based on a newspaper article "Eltham Killed in Brownout" (1942, May 15).

The garage was an official RACV Road Service Station and offered vehicles for hire in addition to conducting repairs. It was also an Agent for Shell petrol. During the war Dave was working in the garage one night with a motor running. He was almost unconscious, and Jack Burgoyne happened to stop off with his truck and went and dragged him out.
