Historical information

The house is identified in the early LDHS index to photographs as being "Joe and Stella Reidy's home on Geelong Road" (Geelong Road now called Linton-Naringhil Road).
Joe Reidy and Stella Pearse married in 1938.
Information provided in 2025: "Joe and Stella out the back of their house. It has a flat roof on the back verandah and a normal peaked roof on the house.
The house is on Naringhil Rd opposite side of road to Linton Park and back towards Linton. It used to have a foot bridge over the small creek, but now it has a pipe and driveway.
At the back of the house is an old dairy where Joe would milk the cows morning and night after working the day for the Shire.
The small foot bridge had decorative pine cones along it. Lovely garden etc.
Joe was also Captain of the fire brigade for a long time."
