This land sale poster is of "Durie Hill Garden Suburb, Wanganui". The plan shows the area on the right side of Durie Street from the junction of Blythe Street and Rodney Street through Park Avenue and Tarata Street (both now Maxwell Avenue), Whanganui. An inset location map shows the area in relation to the Durie Hill Lift and Whanganui city centre. The plan notes areas of land owned by Mrs Duncan, Mrs Ross, Mrs Broughton and J T Sinclair.
