On the 1922 map is an area marked with "WD Children's Playground" (if I decipher that correctly). Zoom in to the junction of Chatham and Mody Roads. No indication when construction actually started.

Rectory of Rosary Church/Catholic Centre [c.1905- ]

Date Place completed: 
c.1905-01-01 (Year, Month, Day are approximate)

Probably at the same time as the church, a building was erected to serve as rectory. The place is still the same, originally it was on KIL 617. This lot was split and the lot of the church and the rectory was renamed KIL 4030. In 1964, it was renumbered again to be KIL 9350. Today it is on 125 Chatham Road South.

Mid-1930s TST Signal hill

Very clear photo that shows details of houses along Chatham Road.

The house right of Signal Hill is the De Jongh Family Residence (2 buildings), followed by Lyton House which is hardly visible behind the new house at 17&19 Chatham Road. This building is much closer to Chatham Road compared to its predecessor Phillips House and also compared to the De Jongh houses.  On the very right hand side are Lyemun Flats.

On the left is the Peninsula Hotel, and right of the hotel should be another one - Rose Hotel.
