It looks like a 5 or 6th avenue staff house in the 50s?
I know the Tooks lived in 6 avenue in a similar shaped house in the 60s.

Hi

I remember those wooden houses we stayed in one of them until the early 60's when we moved to second avenue. I remember the entrance to the bathroom and bedrooms was from the lounge. I remenber my mom coming home in the Mercedes ambulance when my sister Renette was born in 1961. The the roof was always leaking. Our neighbours were Ada and Reg Reeves their granddaughter Margerie Welthagen stayed with them.

My family lived in a house this shape in 4th ave but we had two bedrooms ie another window on the wall to the right.
