Dear Louise, The Boulevard, Lilyfield (note: no final 'e' ) runs between Balmain Rd and Joseph St. You can find it on http://www.whereis.com.au Unless there has been some major re-development of the particular housing block, then probably it still is as it was built. Here is Leichhardt Council's Library site: http://www.lmc.nsw.gov.au/libraries/07/ Local History:........................ http://www.lmc.nsw.gov.au/libraries/07/1041999951_16739.html This is what the local history librarian has to say:...................... " Local History and you We are always adding new resources to the Local History collection. Do you have items of local interest that you would like to donate or loan? Photographs of life in the Leichhardt area, books, memorabilia, art works, papers of local societies and organisations are all welcome." "If you would like to contribute to the collection, be interviewed as part of our Oral History Project or know someone who would, contact the Local History Librarian at Leichhardt Library on (02) 9367 xxxx. " ............ E-mail, phone and fax contacts on the above page too I don't think there would be too many copies of what you propose in the library collection ! I'm sure that they will greet you with open arms. Cheers, Tony Moore (Castle Hill, NSW) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 7 Jan 2007 at 18:43, Louise Reynolds wrote: From: "Louise Reynolds" <louise@planetlighting.com> To: <aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com> Date sent: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 18:43:51 +1100 Subject: [ANS] History of house - following on Leichhardt query Send reply to: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > Hello all, > > Thanks for the help.
