Gould, Meredith01/08/1983

Scope and contents

This is one of the only two weatherboard buildings extant in East Melbourne. The front is executed in 'blockwork' to imitate ashlar stonework. It has a particularly steeply pitched hipped slate roof and a timber verandah with convex iron and timber posts with cast iron frieze. The verandah may be a later addition. This is possibly a prefabricated building from Kent or Essex.
