Brae's Farm, Mernda

A researcher is seeking information on the property, formerly known as Brae's Farm now known as 60 Cravens Road, Mernda. (It was also known as Black Braes Farm). The property was purchased by George Earle as Lots 456-60 of Separation in 1854. (He may have later bought additional lots.) He sold it to Henrietta Shanks in 1896, the property staying in the Shanks family after her death in 1920. The researcher is particularly interested in trying to get an idea of any buildings on the property.
