DERIVED FROM GRAEME BUTLER 1983, CONSERVATION STUDY FOR THE CITY OF MELBOURNE OF NORTH AND WEST MELBOURNEGrading as at 1991 : DPeriod : Early Victorian (94 - 1862) (92 - 1873)Crown Grantee : T Brunton 1858History- Although these houses were built separately, from c1875 they had a common ownership. From 1862, 94 Abbotsford Street was owned and occupied by William Ellis, then Thomas Ellis, until 1875. By then, George Ogilvy had 92 Abbotsford Street built (1873) and he acquired 94 in 1876. From then until 1897, the owners were Mary Smith and James Rogerson.Description- A face-brick (painted) pair of parapeted, single-fronted row houses with timber posted verandahs and shuttered windows. Panelled cast-iron friezes are present, without the brackets. A dog-tooth brick string course below a brick cornice adds a typical early detail. It is likely that the facades of both were renovated in c1875 by Thomas Ellis, builder or that 92 was built to match 94.Significance- Architecturally, the original shutters, fence and brick dog-toothing are valuable early details and the pair play an important role in this early streetscape. Historically, of local interest as part of an early housing group..North and West Melbourne Conservation Study 1983 cites;City of Melbourne Rate Books (RB) 1877, 1639, 1638; RB 1862.1616; RB 1866, 135; RB 1875, 1621; RB 1890-91. 899,900; RB 1896-97.1870, 1512-No entry for 92(Watson BH 3 rooms, Hanna BH 5 rooms)Furnell?, Ellis BH 3 rooms, ₤26 Gould)1871, 1556 (Ellis BH 3 rooms)vacant, Ogilvy BH 1 room 15x60' ₤ 6 (Gould)1872, 1597(Ellis)Ogilvy owner-occupier BH 1 room 15x60' ₤ 61873, 1621(Watson, Ellis)Hamilton, George Ogilvy owner BH 3 rooms 15x60' ₤26(Gould)1874, 1625-(Watson)Henry Easby, George Ogle owner BH 3 rooms 15x60 ₤26Frederick Maine?, George Ogle owner BH 3 rooms 15x60 ₤26(Gould).City of Melbourne Valuers Books1875, 1621-(Watson)Geo Ogle as owner of two 3 room brick houses ₤26 each - replaces Thos Ellis;Henry Esby (x-out)Fred Maine (x-out to T Ogle)(Goold, Thomas)1870, 1512-(Watson)Henry W Easby, Ellis BH 3 rooms, ₤26(Gould)___________________________Sands & McDougall Directory of VictoriaEast Side189388 Armstrong, William90 Gould, George H.92 Harrigan, William94 Ward, WilliamMiller stVictoria st1880Victoria stMiller stEasby, Harry W.Logan,.James13 Gould, George H.14 Tate, Andrew S.Tweddle, Thomas(No George Ogle in alphabetical)
