Information on his life, death, and aviation feats is recorded on the northern pillar of the fence and the seafront linear park is named in his honour. The home of ten rooms was built by the Blackwell family in 1904. It was occupied and then owned by the Melrose family from 1916 onward. It was demolished to make way for Glenelg’s first high-rise development along the esplanade.
