General notes:
Grading as at 1999 : DPeriod : Mid Victorian (1878)The houses at 95-97 Stanley Street, originally Nos. 43-45, were built c.1878. The pair is first listed in the Sands & McDougall directories in 1879, when the occupants were Alfred Webb and Thomas Dougall. That year, the rate books list the houses, owned by Moses Parkes, as a pair of four-room brick houses each with an Annual Average Value of £32.A pair of single-storey, Victorian, semi-detached, rendered brick cottages with a transverse gabled corrugated galvanised steel roof. Each house has a small skillion-roofed verandah between wing walls which are embellished with rendered consoles. The verandahs retain their cast iron lacework friezes and brackets, although the cast iron palisade fence at No. 95 has been removed. A parapet with a moulded cornice extends across the façade, surmounted in the centre by a scrolled pediment. Chimneys are rendered, with moulded cappings. The side wall of No. 95, facing a bluestone pitched lane, is of face brick, now painted.They are of local aesthetic and historical interest. The pair is representative of the modest dwellings which were erected in the late nineteenth century in large numbers in West and North Melbourne. Largely intact externally, they are typical examples of the Italianate style applied to small houses.
