The houses on the right are part of the residential development on the site of the Chase National Service Hostel built in 1941, later the Chace Hostel. It provided temporary accommodation for homeless people and those seeking permanent homes in the city. In the late 1980s (I'm guessing) residents moved into the Chace Centre on the west side of Chace Avenue as the original site was cleared and developed for housing. The Chace Centre itself is now being demolished. On the left a fine oak tree comes into leaf, at first a characteristic olive green colour.
