In December 1913, Andrew Stenhouse (1) presented the City of St Kilda with seats and marble topped tables for the convenience of picnickers under the trees at the Shakespeare grove (2). Shakespeare Grove runs behind Luna Park, between Acland Street and Marine Parade. Where are these marble topped tables now?
