Property Advert of the Week: 19 Evla Street, Strathfield (1971)

At Strathfield, there is a three or four-level unit block that backs onto Raw Square. If you drive on this road regularly, you may not notice it.

This week, the unit block at 19 Evla Street will feature in our Property Advert of the Week. It is just one block from Strathfield Station and the shopping centre. 

Below is a 1971 newspaper advertisement promoting two-bedroom apartments for sale starting at $17,900. According to the RBA Inflation Calculator, that would equate to spending $ 232,000 today, well below the median unit price of $717 500 according to realestate.com.au

This advertisement was featured in the February 12 1966 edition of The Daily Telegraph, where two thousand pounds bought you a block of land at where I believe is Camelot Court, Carlingford.

EVOLUTION OF WORLD SQUARE: The original World Square Scheme (1973)

I had always thought the Kenzo Tange's 1985 design for World Square was the original scheme for World Square.

But the first World Square Scheme dates back to 1973, when Stocks and Holdings proposed a $150 million scheme for the site of Anthony Horderns and surrounding buildings on the block bounded by George, Liverpool, Pitt and Castlereagh Streets.

Source: Anonymous. 1973. "Huge Block Plans". The Sun Herald, March 25: 9.

At the time, it was the biggest ever proposal for a single block in Sydney. The podium would have included a retail complex, dining spaces along with theatres and clubs along with a possible hotel. The credit crisis was to follow and it would claim Stocks and Holdings.
