Building type: ResidencePeriod; Date: Victorian; 1890History: The house was constructed in 1890 by David Aubrey, a builder. in the rate books of 1890, David Aubrey is noted as the owner of vacant land with an Annual Average Value of £14. The following year, Aubrey, who already owned a ten-room brick house nearby, is shown as the owner of a nine-room brick house valued at £80. The first occupant of the house was G Desailly, while by 1900 the occupant was T J Hammond, a music teacher. In n1953, the house was divided into two flats, but has now been refurbished as one dwelling.Description: The house is a double-storey Victorian house. Walls are of rendered brick and the hipped roof is clad in slate. The ground floor front elevation has a door and two double-hung sash windows, and a door flanked by windows on the first floor. The balcony has cast iron lacework, columns and friezes, and the rendered chimney has a moulded cap. The house has undergone recent renovation.Significance: The house is of local historical and aesthetic interest. Historically, the house is representative of the more substantial residential development which occurred in this part of South Yarra during the Boom period. Aesthetically, the house is a reasonably intact example of its type, amd is a dominant element in the streetscape.
