General notes:
Grading as at 1991 : DPeriod : Mid Victorian (1883)Grantee : Allison and Knight 1853Henry McKersie had this row built as an investment in 1883. He continued to own it until after 1895 and leased it to such folk as Mrs. Addison and Ann McIntyre. Renowned architect, J.A.B. Koch and local builder, Charles Nott, were responsible for design and construction of the pair. [Melbourne Building Permit Applications 183/1883]A two-storey stuccoed brick row house pair with a two-level cast-iron verandah and transverse gabled roof line, behind a bracketted and corniced parapet. Pronounced brackets and transverse chimney shafts, combined with the parapet ornament, distinguish this design from others by builders Notable features include the verandah.Architecturally, originally of a design which presented subtle variations on what is a common theme, but limited integrity of 41 and additions to 39 determine that it is of local importance and contributive to a streetscape only. Historically, little is known of the developer or his tenants: of local interest.
