11 Groom Street Clifton Hill #blogjune Day 26

11 Groom Street Clifton Hill, a photo by Hecuba's Story on Flickr.

This house at 11 Groom Street Clifton Hill was where Rita Jamieson's father lived for a time during the First World World War.  Rita was the first woman Collingwood Councillor,  elected in 1963. You can see more details of an earlier layout in this turn of the century Melbourne and Metropolitan Boards of Works map. You can see the bath, copper and kitchen sink marked as well as the closet.  You can also see the relationship of this single-storeyed, single-fronted house to the related pairs of houses at 3-5 and 7-9 Groom Street and to the shop on the corner.

The Croatian Catholic Church in Wellington Street Clifton Hill has been operating since 1961. The foundation stone of this church, a former Wesleyan Church, was laid on 13 December 1886. The parsonage in Hodgkinson Street was built in 1881.  Due to low attendances, the Wesleyan Church closed down in October 1961 but was purchased by the Croatian Catholics and had operated as St Nicholas' Croatian Catholic Church since that date.
