General notes:
Grading at 1999 : DThe house at 98 Ireland Street first appears in the Sands & McDougall directory for 1912, listed as 'vacant'. The first occupant was Robert Young, who lived there until 1913. He was succeeded by James Brown, who is listed as the occupant from 1914 to 1917.Yangtsze is a single storey cottage in the Victorian Survival style. The walls are of constructed of rendered masonry and the roof is concealed behind a balustraded parapet. The façade has an entrance door and a pair of timber framed double hung sash windows with rendered sills are to one side of the timber door. The balustraded parapet which has a central pediment bearing the name 'Yangtsze' in raised lettering, and ornamented with paterae and a vermiculated panel. A brick chimney with terracotta pots penetrates the roof. The fence is not original.It is of local historical and aesthetic interest. The house is representative of a minor phase of residential development in West Melbourne. Largely Victorian in detail and decoration but constructed c1911, the house is a particularly ornate example of the so called Victorian Survival style and makes a positive contribution to the streetscape.
