In reply to Lauren. Hey Lauren thanks for letting us know. Was it already known as the Haunted House when you moved in? Did you experience any paranormal activity there?

In reply to flatnames. Hi Flatnames, I lived in Haunted House in 2010 - we painted the sign that now (well was still there when we graduated in 2014) resides on the house!

12 Albany street, known as the Palace in 1999 and 2000 at least. I think due to the ballroom. though equally likely an ironic take on a house that was unlikely to pass any structural building inspection.

Smersh HQ had an entry in the phone book in the 60s until NZ P sounds like a bit of a high country farming and drinking combo of a name, would I be right there?

Approximately 117 Dundas Street was known as Bendaneckback Station in the late 80s/early 90s, from memory (!).
