BELL HOUSE. Established 1982. Named for John Bell, prominent in the local community for about 75 years as a land owner and councillor of the Eltham Road Board. ELTHAM COLLEGE is situated on the original crown land selected by John Bell. (Bells father, William, had settled at Kangaroo Ground in 1842.)[2]
EVELYN HOUSE. Established 1982. The County of Evelyn (one of a number of counties in Victoria created as land administration regions as distinct from local government areas) was established on 25 November 1855. The Evelyn district was well known for gold mining and farming and had a newspaper the Evelyn Observer. Evelyn school was the first district school and opened in April 1851. There was an Evelyn Arms hotel on the corner of Pitt Street and Main Road, Eltham. The Shire of Eltham grew out of the County of Evelyn.
NILLUMBIK HOUSE. Established 1982. The House is named after the Parish of Nillumbik. (Parishes were further subdivisions of Counties.) Nillumbik, now a Shire, is supposedly named from an aboriginal word with mixed meaning. Early settlers believed the word meant meeting place or red earth while others thought the word was an insult to white people by calling them stupid. The Shires official definition gives the meaning of the word as shallow earth. [3]
ROSS HOUSE. Established 1982. Andrew Ross established what has been described as a boarding school at Kangaroo Ground in 1851. He taught English and arithmetic but was practical enough to realise that land surveying and agriculture were useful subjects so he started a farm and employed a teacher. He returned to England but left a substantial education legacy.
