Here’s a puzzler for you: look at this lovely old house.
Can you guess the suburb it’s in?
Update 12:50pm: Mike got it, by tracking the posts to my Flickr account!
It’s in Nicholson Street, central Footscray. While I don’t subscribe to the generalisations of the run-down inner-west, I was delighted to find such a house, in such well-kept condition, so close to the retail centre of the suburb — particularly as it seems to be a private house, not requisitioned by a medical centre or university.

The house to the right is remininscent of my grandparents’ old place in Box Hill, but you know from the absence of a naturestrip, plus the hour parking limit, it’s closer to the city. They’re very shiny, new cars parked on street. I’m guessing Yarraville/Seddon.
Is it within the vicinity of Hoddle St and Alexandra Pde, subject to compulsory acquisition by LMA as part of East West Link?
I guess this is some kind of trick question. If it wasn’t a trick question, I’d suggest Elsternwick.
But as it is, I’ll say Frankston. There must be a few 110 year old houses in Frankston, somewhere.
Inner east…. Fitzroy?
According to your Flikr account you had brunch at VU in Footscray on the same day the photo was taken at 10:18. The house photo was taken at 11:26. Assuming brunch goes for an hour, and you wandered out back to the station or your car I would deduce that the photo is taken somewhere near VU, so I guess Footscray or Seddon as the location.
Holy crap Mike….. Nice work… But stalker much????? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Haha – yes it felt a bit stalkerish :-)
I would say Kew. But it is difficult to tell.
hahaha Mike got it. Damn, shoulda known something in my digital footprints would give it away!
Well, that’s disappointing, I would have guessed it because I’ve walked past it, and the tower is fairly distinctive :)
