Siska Place in the suburb of Upper Riccarton, Christchurch

Siska Place – nothing on library website. Surprised that there was nothing on the library website as the houses here are from 1980s. Have no idea how the street got the name. Several meanings for the name. It is a Czech/Slovak name meaning cone shaped dumpling. Also found name on a Library of Congress website meaning African people. It is also the name of an Indian Reserve. It is also possibly someone’s name. The houses were all different here and at least two looked older but they were both built in the 1980s in an older style. They were two story with dormer windows and they were lovely. Another house I wish that I could have got a photo of as it was so unusual. It was all curves with no straight lines. Another house just looked plain weird. At the end of the street there was a tiny reserve. The street ran off Clonbern Place.
