View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibraries#FlashbackFriday ⏳ The corner of Pin Oak Crescent and Norwood Avenue, Flemington. In the 1930s, Girdwood ran a "hygienic library" here and in the 1980s Darrell sold vinyl and carpet. Now a cafe, the Hygienic Library sign is still visible above the door. Just a short walk from Flemington Library, near Newmarket station.
