A-Z August 2016
A-Z Some Historical Information A Aeolia: (6 Aeolia Street, Randwick) built by Edwin Daintrey (1814-1887), solicitor and botanist, as his home in 1859. It is now part of the Brigidine College, which moved there in December 1902 from its temporary base in Silver Street. Daintrey was a founder member of the NSW Linnean Society (Natural History) in 1874. Amphion: (128 Alison Road, Randwick) see ‘Verona’. Amusu Theatre, Maroubra: (791- 801 Anzac Parade Maroubra Junction). A ‘motion-picture house’ (cinema) which opened in December 1921 and closed on 13th June 1958. The final night was a ‘double feature’ show with “Davy”, starring Harry Secombe in a debut singing role and an American racing car drama “The Devil’s Hairpin” starring Cornel Wilde. The cinema was built and operated by two Americans, Amos Hinton and Arthur Hennessy. As well as showing films, it was also the venue for political rallies, dances and fund raising events for local clubs. The building was demolished and a petrol station was built on the site, which in its turn was demolished in 1979 to make way for apartment buildings. Avonmore Terrace: (26-42 The Avenue, Randwick) was completed in 1889-90 on land purchased in May 1888 from the trustees of St. Judes C/E. Built in the Italianate style, it comprises nine large three-storey terrace houses. The original address was Walsh’s Terrace, John’s Avenue, renamed The Avenue in 1895. The builder and owner, John Walsh (1843-1893) and his family occupied No,5, called ‘Avonmore’, the central and largest residence, the first to be built and which is the focal point of the terrace, having a projecting entrance porch the full height of the building topped with a pediment embellished with the name ‘Avonmore’. -
