General notes:
Grading as at 1999 : DPeriod : Early VictorianThe 1872 rate book reveal that James Carroll, gentleman, owned all of the property on the east side of Leveson Street, between Byron and Arden Streets. This comprised his own six-room timber house, a two-room timber shop, a two-room timber house, and an 'unfinished' brick hotel and shop on the Arden Street corner. The next year, Carroll had erected a row of four four-room brick houses, each valued at £25, between the hotel and his own house. One house was still vacant, and the other three were occupied by George Gordon, a cordial-maker, Robert Hedland, a carpenter, and Thomas Harris, an architect. Adjacent to the end house was vacant land valued at £3, where James Carroll erected a fifth fourth bedroom house in 1886. Its first occupant was Anton Johanssen, a bookbinder. The five houses were still owned by Carroll* at the turn of the century. In the intervening years, tenants included labourers, butchers, a cabinet maker, a mason, a contractor, a storeman and a French polisher.James Carroll died in 1895. He was a former councillor and Mayor of Hotham (North Melbourne)The houses at 106-114 Leveson Street are a row of single-storey, nineteenth century terrace houses of masonry construction. A gabled slate roof extends across the row, as does a corrugated galvanised steel roofed verandah. The original verandah balustrades and posts have been replaced as has the roof to Nos. 110-114. The façade to each house has a timber-framed double-hung sash window and timber panelled entrance door.They are of local historical and aesthetic interest. Individually, they are typical examples of the sort of simple worker's housing that proliferated in the inner suburbs in the late nineteenth century, which were typically built by local speculators. As a group, they are an important element in the streetscape.
