General notes:
Grading as at 1999 : Upgraded from E to DPeriod : Mid Victorian (1879)The house at 55 Hawke Street was built in 1879. The rate books for that year record an 'unfinished house' on the site. The following year, the rate books describe a four-room brick house owned by James Sharrow and occupied by James McKillop, with an Average Annual Value of £32.The house at 55 Hawke Street is a single-storey, single-fronted Victorian house with a transverse gabled roof behind a rendered pedimented parapet. The verandah has cast iron decoration and spans between wing walls which are ornamented with decorative pine cones and rendered consoles. Alterations include the recladding of the roof in glazed terracotta tiles, replacement of the front window and replacement of the front fence.It is of local historical and aesthetic interest representing the type of modest speculative housing which proliferated in North and West Melbourne in the nineteenth century. Aesthetically, the houses is reasonably intact and, with its neighbours, makes a positive contribution to the mixed streetscape.
