I haven’t confirmed it, but I believe this is the residence of Paul and Ann Coghlan, who moved here in the 1970’s from North Fitzroy. Paul became a Mayor of Fitzroy in 1974-1975 and Anne was instrumental in the reshaping and relocation of the Isobel Henderson Kindergarten among other community educational improvements. Both were heavily involved in the struggle to save Brookes Crescent, North Fitzroy from housing Commission demolition and their story of this was captured in 2015 by the Fitzroy History Society.
Anne & Paul Coghlan – owners & residents from early 1970s.
I went to Isobel Henderson kindergarten in the mid 1940s and have 2 photos of the time there..Although I don’t have actual memories I do feel a fondness for the place and it’s place in Alexander pde..I also have a commemorative booklet ..
My interest at the moment is a kindergarten at 126 Moore street Fitzroy behind the town hall..It was possibly 1960s and it replaced the Townhall hallkeeper’s residence .I have posted another comment about that address…I can share my photos although one is a smiling little group and the other one of me painting taken I believe for Mothers day..Thank you..
