General notes:
Grading as at 1999 : DPeriod : Mid Victorian (1887)The houses at 13-15 Union Street first appear in the Sands & McDougall directories in 1887, when they were listed as Nos. 7 and 8. The first occupants of the houses were Edmund Hartnett and Mrs Mary Prindivill.They are a pair of single-storey, single-fronted dwellings of brick construction with longitudinally gabled roofs, now clad in decromastic tiles but probably originally roofed with corrugated galvanised steel. The facades of each of the houses have a timber-framed double-hung sash window and a panelled entrance door with a fanlight window.They are of local aesthetic and historical interest having the scale of the houses that is typical of the modest workers' housing constructed in North Melbourne during the 1880s. However, aesthetically, their simple gabled form is unusual for the period. Their location adjacent to an original pitched laneway reinforces the nineteenth century nature of the streetscape.
