Dear Pat, Sorry I can't pop over to East Camberwell as it would take about 10 or 12 hours driving. However........ I found the advert of the said auction in a Trove archive: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/90368711 Perhaps the rest of your long-shot might might be shortened if you were to contact the auctioneer / estate agent which was then known as "Coghill & Haughton" and is now called "Haughton-Stotts" at Ivanhoe or Preston. It seems someone on their team likes to record a little of their company history. http://www.haus.com.au/haughton-stotts-history.html ........In the early 1900s, Edward Haughton had also established a real estate business in central Melbourne. With an office in the heart of the Central Business District at 79 Swanston Street, Haughton´s business operated throughout the growing inner metropolitan area. By the 1920s, Coghill & Haughton real estate business also had offices operating out of Heidelberg and Canterbury...... Auctioneers and Estate agents haven't changed their spots. Even 100 years ago they still used very emotive words in advertisements Perhaps Chris Dz, (e-mail) managing director, or his son Stefan Dz might help: http://rev.listonce.com.au/cgi-bin/staffresults.pl?GID=799 Since you have a house name but no street number, my I suggest you contact the Camberwell Library via: http://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/libraries/contact/ask and ask if they can cross reference the house name with a later street number. Alternatively, the former "city of Camberwell" or the modern Boroondara council may have compiled a register of heritage listed /national estate register as is the case with some councils in Sydney. e.g. Both Hornsby and Marrickville council has one for most of the houses in the suburbs for which it's responsible. It's highly likely that there is a full time local history librarian located at one or all of the Boroondara City libraries.

Tony's post made me look up the ad and it talks about a 2 storey brick villa. However Google Street view has no 2 storey house on Canterbury Road just east of Burke St - you would need the street number to be more precise.
