An early view of Kelburn Parade. Kelburn Park is still unfinished here with further earthworks required to fill in an area along Salamanca Road.
Land on the left side of the image has been flattened for the future Hunter Building of Victoria University and across the road the newly-formed Kelburne Bowling Club is visible. A sign advertises the sale of "splendid building sites" in the developing suburb of Kelburne, which would drop the 'e' to become Kelburn within a few years in an attempt to differentiate itself from Kilbirnie.
