These four low “garden” apartments on the east side of Jansusie Road were built in the summer of 1958 and were named after the developer’s four children: Jeffrey Gardens (No. 5), Shelley Gardens (No. 15), Pamela Gardens (No. 25), and Stephen Gardens (No. 35). Each building’s name originally appeared in gold on the glass of its front door.
These were considered rather charming buildings at the time they were built, each with a front sidewalk that split and curved around trees, gardens and a water fountain. Each building’s lobby was decorated in terrazzo using different colours and patterns that included that building’s initials: SG can still be seen in the lobby of No. 15 and PG in No. 25. The buildings had typical 1950s carports at the rear, which were torn down in the 1970s.
​
Jansusie Road was named for two of the developer’s family members, as was Millmink Street that runs west off Jansusie.
