Thomas-Breese-Home-Edwards-St-Reservoir.jpg

This two-storey brick bungalow was on the corner of Edwardes and Byfield Street. The house was attached to a shop. At the time the photographs were taken (around 1934), the shop was a boot and shoe repair store. This site has been a confectionary store (1925), a dentist (1930) and a library (1935). Thomas Breese and his family (Leo, Lima and John) lived in the house during this time.
