General notes:
The building at 502 Spencer Street first appears in Sands & McDougall directories in 1882-83. Melbourne City Council rate books first list the buildings in 1882, describing it as a brick house of five rooms. Originally one of a pair, or possibly a row of four similar houses, it was owned by a Mr James Campbell.It is a double storey rendered Victorian residence built to the property and with a parapetted roof. The upper level is intact, comprising and a tripartite arrangement of timber framed double hung sash windows with a rendered hood mould and bracketed sill. The façade has quoining, and the parapet is surmounted by a scrolled pediment. The ground floor has been altered.It is of local aesthetic and historical significance, being demonstrative of residential development of the nineteenth century Boom period, an important phase in the history of West and North Melbourne. Although altered at ground floor level, the overall nineteenth century form is apparent.
