HOUSE - Historical Australian Themes
Like Northcote and Preston, the most intensive development in Heidelberg occurred in the 1920s. Between 1921 and 1933, 3,151 houses were constructed in the Shire. These years saw the development of the estates sold before and during World War One, including Griffin's Glenard and Mount Eagle estates (1914-16).16 Mount Street was the residence of William Knox, an important artist in the Heidelberg art movement, and his wife Vera from its construction in 1924 to William Knox's death in 1945.
