It was our family farm land for generations. There should be a marble takhti on gate next to Parsi orphanage with my great grandfather's name. Family name is "Chavda". We had few acres land. That is why I cannot mark exact land area that belong to my family. After my father passed away, my mother sold it after few years. Same families worked on our farm for generations. We are Parsi Chavda family. Right across from it was Keki Modi and Dr. Homi Doctor's land. My father Jalejar Dinshawji Behramji Chavda helped Sisters of Francis Assisi start Convent school with location and everything else they needed to start school. There was a Mehta Club there also where parsis used to come to play cards and get together. There was a Parsi Sanitorium also across from Lunsikui that I don't see on google map. World famous Parsis came from Navsari and I think there places should be named for sake of history of Navsari. World famous artist Shiavax Chavda was also born in Navsari Agiyari Mohollo which is almost back of Kelkuiwala House near Sir J J Agiyari and our house is right behind of Sir J J Agiyari. And all those 5 houses belong to Chavda family at one time and used be known as Chavdawad. And there is a Kuvo in front of now my neighbour's house. Dadabhai Navroji's house is on Damka Mohollo. Parsi Mehta family Vansavali is traced all the way to 1300AD with records in Navsari.
