General notes:
Grading as at 1991 : CPeriod : Early Victorian (1862-63)Grantee : S & H Cullen 1859In c1862-3, the Crown Grantees, brothers Henry and Samuel Cullen, presumably commenced building 28 Eades Place for John Orr a few months before they built 30 and 32. Samuel Cullen took up residence in 30 Eades Place immediately it was completed. 32 was occupied by Henry Cullen after it had been leased for three years, by which time they had also re-acquired 28 Eades Place. They proceeded to lease this house until c1880 when it was enlarged and Samuel Cullen moved in. By 1885 Samuel had moved over to 8-10 Eades Place, so 30 and 28 were leased with Henry Cullen still residing in 32. Their tenants included John Mountain and G F Twentyman, a french polisher who may have been linked with the famous family of architects. Of all the properties developed by the Cullen brothers in Eades Place, these are the only houses built on land originally granted to them by the Crown.A storey was added to 30, 32, in 1872-3, as was also the case with 28, in c1880. [Melbourne Building Permit Applications 5003/1872] A two-storey, stuccoed and parapetted brick row of 3 houses which shows clearly the above stages of development by its upper fenestration. A bullnose, slatted frieze verandah of c1915 has replaced the previous, presumably, concave roof verandahs. [Board of Works DP 732] The cornice is plain: architraves and bracketted sills being the only ornament.Architecturally, of little individual importance but, as a Cullen Brothers' product, is synonymous with much of the streetscape; of local importance. Historically, contains the first three houses constructed by the Cullens in the street, although these have been added to since, and is sited on the Cullen's land grant: of local importance.
