View of the home "Delamere", largely obscured by bushes. [On verso} '"Delamere", Delamere Avenue, section 892, Mitcham. This house was probably built in or before 1853, as the first assessment book of the Mitcham District Council (1853) shows on this site a house of 9 rooms and 20 acres of land, owned and occupied by William Bartley. In 1856 it was owned and occupied by R.B. Lucas. In 1859 the property was purchased by Dr J.H.Browne and it remained in his estate for many years. Subsequent tenants were H.S.Price (1870-90); Mrs Hawker (sister of T.E. Barr Smith?) (1890-94); T.E. Barr Smith (1894- ); W. Charlick (1900-1905). The house appeared to be unchanged externally in 1942. [Above information supplied by the Mitcham District Clerk in a letter dated 2 Sep 1942.]'.
