General notes:
The house at 6 Harker Street forms part of a row of three similar houses erected in 1873. They first appear in rate books in December of that year, described as a row of three three-room brick dwellings, each owned by Patrick Noonan and valued at £19. Noonan, a labourer, rented out the houses at Numbers. 2 and 4), and lived in No.6 himself. He appears to have died around 1878, when the owner of three houses was listed as Mrs Noonan. It is a single-storey, nineteenth century dwelling of painted brick construction, with a corrugated galvanised steel roof and is set between exposed masonry parapet walls. The verandah was supported by one timber post, since removed. The front façade has the main entrance door to the side and a central timber-framed double-hung sash window.It is of local historical and aesthetic interest being a typical simple worker's housing that proliferated in North Melbourne in the 1870s and '80s, and as such demonstrates a particular phase of residential settlement in the area. It contributes to the overall Victorian nature of Harker Street.
