General notes:
Grading as at 1985 : CPeriod : Mid Victorian (1880)Grantee : G Kingsland 1858By 1896, this house was leased to William McNabb by the owner Thomas Easton who had resided there from its emergence in 1880.A two-storey, stuccoed brick house with a two-level cast-iron verandah, a gabled parapet entablature and an iron picket fence. Like 74-78 Hawke Street, the guilloche pattern is used in the balustrade panels and a serpentine motif in the friezes, also nail-head ornament is at the parapet, suggesting that John Jones may have constructed this house for Easton. Notable features include the fence; verandah decoration; verandah roof and structure.Architecturally, an early and original, if architecturally undistinguished, example of a common row house type and part of one of West Melbourne's few streetscapes: of regional importance. Historically, little is known of the owner or tenants: of local interest.
