Barnet Wolek,
the builder of this house, was a Blake Park resident, living at
118 Gardner Road, which he also built, from about 1928 until his
death in 1974. This is one of two houses in Blake Park designed
by the architects Isenberg & Feer. (The other is 69
Stanton Road.)
The residents
of 46 Blake Road were the family of Albert & Kate Ravreby. Albert
was a listed in the Street List as a salesman. The 1930 U.S. Census,
which shows the family living in Boston, lists him as a commercial
traveller dealing in wholesale candy. The Raverby's children included
Mark, who was eight when the Blake Road house was built, and Marcia,
three years younger. Also living with the Raverbys at this address
was Kate's father Abraham Berenstein, a tailor. The family was listed
in the Street List at this address until 1964.
