This is an interesting shot looking down Lonsdale Street from the Clow Street intersection. There are a few names along the street that have been lost to the progress of time. Next to Eifel was the E.S.&A Bank, and next to this was the old Maples Store, with the sign partly showing in the left-center of the photo.

Michael Fielder notes:
Long before it was Eiffel Tower Motors, in the 50s, it was a Ford dealer ship called Brown & Andrews Motors. My Father-in-Law, Gordon Oakenfull worked there before he opened Oakenfulls Garage up on Stud Rd. In 1953.
Mick Cleary notes:
Eiffel tower motors had a purpose-built workshop, in princess Hwy dandy, east side of Carac speed shop, closer to Cranbourne rd, not sure of the date but mid to late sixties.
O.D. Note:
Eifel moved in the md-late 60s, to the side mentioned above, after this Guests Furniture moved int eh corner building by 1967.
Guests Furniture in 1967.
O.D. Note:
By 1967, this corner site was occupied by Guests Furniture. Later it would be home to Dandy Sound, Douglas Hi-Fi, Dandy Discounts and Bendigo Bank. More recently it was home to O'Brien Real Estate and Buy Sell Rent Property Group.
