Carannya (demolished) 55 Alexandra Street unable to locate on map

Dear Susan Thank you so much for your email about Joseph Panton and the attached photo of his house. Alexandra Street is within the bailiwick of the St Kilda Historical Society. According to Trove, a death notice appeared in the Weekly Times 1 November 1913 page 8 which stated that Mr Panton lived at Carannya-Caranuya-Cararinya 25 Alexandra St. The current 25 Alexandra St is further south than the area you suggested in your email, however many St Kilda streets were renumbered in the 1930s. We believe his house might have been near 61 Alexandra Street, currently a rabbinical college. The State Library has the old MMBW maps of the area, if you search on ‘St Kilda Plan 47’ that part of East St Kilda will appear. The rabbinical college mansion occupied the whole Alexandra-Alma Rd corner. We are interested to hear about your proposed September presentation to the Glen Eira Historical Society. We are in regular contact with Glen Eira and have suggested that SKHS co-host the event given that Mr Panton was a St Kilda resident.
