Gaseous discharge lamps in operation, Unley Road. Attached to the back of the photograph is the following: "An extract from the Proceedings at the 33rd Annual General Meeting of the Adelaide Electric Supply Company Ltd. November 19, 1937. A year of so ago we reported the introduction of new high efficiency gaseous discharge lamps for street purposes, and of the experimental installations made in the City and Port Adelaide. These lamps were all approximately 1,000 cp and as such were probably not suitable for most street lighting. Since that date manufacturers have developed smaller units, and gaseous discharge lamps are now available in 250 and 400 cp. This will enable our Public Authorities to make use of these improved lamps in large numbers for street lighting purposes. We recently invited members of the various Corporations and District Councils in the metropolitan area to witness comparative installations of these lamps".

Woodside House, Urrbrae
Woodside House at Urrbrae owned by Mr George Hall. House has 15 rooms and sits on 20 acres on Fullarton Road, Upper Mitcham. It was later incorporated into Peter Waites' 'Urrbrae". Extract from letter from the donor of the photograph, Miss Alice Hall, Frome House, North Terrace, June 2, 1933, "The property consisted of 20 acres on the western side of the Fullarton Road and was bordered on the north by the Cross Roads. The entrance was on the Fullarton Road, and the house stood far back from the road and faced the Gulf. It was a solid old house, with thick walls and slate roof. The doors and inside fittings and floors were all solid cedar. A feature of the old garden was an archery lawn, kept like green velvet, and the archery parties at Woodside House were a social event of the time. There was a good well and substantial pumping plant, and pipes were laid all over the garden, so plenty of water was available, and the orchard contained all the best fruits then available. By my uncle's will the property could not be sold until by youngest brother was 21 years of age, and various tenants took no care of the garden and it fell into great disrepair. My brother bought it about 45 years ago and did much to renovate it. We lived there for seventeen years, but he sold it on going to live in Western Australia. Since then neglect once more ruled. At the time my uncle lived at Woodside House I think I am right in saying his neighbour at Urrbrae, in the house with lodge on Clairmont Road, Glen Osmond, was the father of the late Sir Edward and Sir Lancelet Stirling. When Mr Peter Waite bought Urrbrae he built the present house there and laid out the garden and drive leading to the picturesque lodge at the corner of Cross Roads and Fullarton Road on the eastern side, between 45 and 50 years ago. Mr Waite also bought in all the vacant land surrounding Woodside House property, and when the Urrbrae Estate was given to the University either the University Council or the Government bought in the twenty acres belonging to Woodside House, and that completed the Urrbare property on the west side of the Fullarton Road, bordered by the Cross Roads on the north for a considerable distance towards the Unley Road". Extract from letter from Miss Hall, June 5th, 1933: "Woodside House was demolished in Jan. 1931. The architect of the house was Mr MacGeorge, but after my uncle bought it he built on a large dining room on the south side. He also added the two kitchens and the stables and coach house".
