Changing Hands
This house belonged to a Maltese man who arrived in Melbourne on the Flaminia in 1960. He worked as an engineer at Swallows.
He was taciturn, not very friendly - a heavy smoker. He had a very prized car. Even when he became very ill, he was reluctant to part with it. He was supported in his final years by his neighbour Peter Syriakis.
The house was considerably modified, but the original house was still there, behind all the changes. The property was sold by Frank Gordon for $850,000 on 17 December 2011 noting that there was no heritage overlay.
