Photograph, Margaret Ball, 109 Bible Street (southwest corner Arthur and Bible Streets), Eltham, June 1999, 1999

Historical information

Original house demolished in late 1990s. Original house believed to be the home of the Bunkers from the early 1900s till c.1920.

Significance

The Margaret Ball (Pre 1960s Houses) Collection was a personal project initiated to mark the year 2000 and arose as a result of the disappearance of many pre-1960s parts of Eltham due to development. Approximately 200 pre-1960s style houses that were left in Eltham between Main Road and east to Bible Street, between Cecil Street to the north and south to Dalton Street were photographed in late 1999. Not all of the houses could be photographed; some because the garden or trees blocked the view of the house, others because of rubbish or cars were in the way, some because people were working on the house or in the gardens at the time.
