Skead Brothers Brochure for Manordale

Below are both sides of a Skead Brothers Brochure for the Manordale neighbourhood. A special thank you to Jim, who found my blog and sent me this to share. I am always delighted when readers send me documents/plans that I do not have, so I can add them to my collection and share with my readership. For more information on the Manordale neighbourhood, please check out these 2 older blog posts: Manordale Part 1 Manordale Part 2

Manordale - Part 1: the early years

  The Manordale neighbourhood in Nepean is located between Greenbank and Woodroffe, north of West Hunt Club.  It was one of the first planned neighbourhoods in Nepean and begun in the late 1950s. The area was marketed under a few different names: Manordale Heights, Manordale Villa and Manordale.  There were 4 main builders who constructed the houses in the original area: Dale Construction, Kirk Builders, MacDonald Construction and Skead Brothers. I do not have all of the floor plans, but I have been able to cobble together a number of the plans by each builder. Below are a series of newspaper articles and ads, plus the floor plans that I have on file. If you have any plans or brochures for Manordale please let me know as I would love to share them!
