- Summary
The Cheong family moved to 'Pine Lodge' in Croydon in 1902 into a small cottage which was then enlarged. A letter to the Shire of Lilydale described the property in 1904 as containing bush paddocks, scrubby ground with unremoved stumps, grazing and cultivation paddocks and an orchard, about half of which contained newly planted trees. The original house had three bedrooms, a family kitchen, a sitting room and a small bathroom. After the family's renovations it was a large house with ten main bedrooms, two smaller ones, a bathroom, pantry, storeroom and dairy. The house was demolished in the 1950s when the property was subdivided for housing.
