General notes:

Grading as at 1999: Upgraded from E to DPeriod: Possibly Edwardian, built after the MMBW survey of 1896A simple single fronted row house, typical of the small residential accommodation in the West Melbourne. Its paired narrow windows are typical of buildings constructed in the first two decades of the twentieth century. The cast iron, which appears to be original, incorporates a less common radial pattern to the brackets. A stage parapet provides a vertical emphasis and conceals the gable roof to the house. The windows and door fenestration is substantially intact, with typical, double hung windows and panelled front door. The verandah roof and cast iron appear to be original. Some alterations may have occurred, however, the significant elements of the early twentieth century house remain. This part of West Melbourne forms a pocket of more concentrated workers housing in the industrial framework. The integration of housing and industrial uses is typical of the historic pattern of mixed use in the area. The period, form, setback and scale contribute to the historic residential portion of West Melbourne.Other Comments This building illustrates the integration of workers housing and industrial activity in West Melbourne. It contributes to a group in the surrounding area. Upgrading to D recommended.Reference
