Before it was a housing estate, Garvan Street echoed with the spooky symphony of scarecrows and roosters, the ancestors of a long-lost farm. The arrival of the trolley heralded the demise of serenity and the birth of unease in this ancient land. Ambitious man of means, Patrick Garvan, seized the opportunity, obliterating the farm to erect a line of homes-cum-mausoleums, each bearing the Garvan name. Today, these homes stand tall, locked in morbid dance, their secrets forever on the lips. The Carroll family, the Garvan heirs, continued the trend, expanding to Chapel, South Prospect, Carroll, and Tower Roads. Now, the houses, a blend of Queen Anne, Craftsman, and American Foursquare styles, dance macabrely, each sheltering a detached garage or carriage house. Echoes persist, whispering tales through some, keeping the spirits of yesteryear within arm's reach.
