General notes:
Grading as at 2002 - DPeriod - Mid-late VictorianA once elegant Victorian row-house, tall and generously proportioned. Although somewhat altered, it includes distinctive features which add to its heritage value. The ground floor colonnade includes full and elongated arch forms, mixed with a both a slender cast iron column and brick piers with render mouldings. On the first floor, the double hung window extends to the verandah level with and elegant panelled base, and above, the parapet has a particularly unusual sinuous form. It is not clear whether this is a later, perhaps early twentieth century adaptation, or a part of the original form. Many alterations have been made recently. This section of Dudley Street addresses the Flagstaff Gardens opposite with higher quality construction. It represents the southern edge of the residential form of North Melbourne and forms a clear boundary between the high-density central city area and its residential fringe. This building is part of a group of buildings of a similar period, scale and detailing which contributes to these characteristics.
