Domain Tce – formerly Mill Road. Named Domain Terrace because it runs along the north boundary of the Spreydon Domain. Mill Road first appears in street directories in 1902. Re-named Domain Terrace which is first mentioned in The Press in 1915.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. I found the same article on Papers Past about the renaming of the street but weirdly both names were used for the street until 1940. There are houses here from every decade and many of the older houses are gorgeous. There was one Art Deco house and it was for sale. Tempting. The Coronation Hall is looking very sad and I found an article about the laying of the foundation stone by G Witty in October 1911.
I didn’t find any information about a mill but this street is close to the Heathcote River so it is possible that there was a water mill here.
Lots of people in the Domain today. I vaguely recall that my sons had a friend who lived on this street. There is also a family tree connection to this street but I think it could be the ex-husband’s family tree.
