Old and mud brick homes in Eltham
Eltham was gazetted as a township on 11 January 1851, so the suburb has very old buildings. Its oldest earth building dates to 1855.
Mud brick housing grew after 1947. That year Alistair Knox persuaded Eltham Council to approve earth building, and many mud brick houses followed.
Interwar years brought suburban living, including the Eltham Electric Station Estate. The railway line had opened in 1902 and drew business north along Main Road.
What the restumper looks at in each house
Homes here were built in very different eras, so each one is looked at on its own. The restumper checks the stumps (some people say piers), the floors and the ground under the house before the job is priced.
A renovation (or remodel) is worth mentioning on the form. So is an extension (or addition), because the restumper can plan the stumps around it.
