General notes:

Grading as at 1999 : DPeriod : Early Victorian, built 1871This house first appeared in the rate book for 1871, described as a two-room timber dwelling of unspecified ownership, occupied by John Kernihan, a labourer. The following year, the rate books confirm that Kernihan was both owner and occupant, and his occupation was given as ham curer. In 1873, the house became owned and occupied by Bridget Scanlon, a laundress, who lived there until the late 1870s. It was a single-storey nineteenth century weatherboard cottage with a corrugated galvanised steel transverse gabled roof. A verandah extended across the front façade between brick party walls and was supported by timber posts with carved timber brackets. The front façade had a central entrance door and fanlight window with a double-hung sash window with moulded timber architraves on either side. The timber front fence was original. It was of historic interest, being representative of the type of simple timber workers' housing that proliferated in Melbourne's inner suburbs in the mid-nineteenth century. It was an intact and representative example of its type which is an important remnant of nineteenth century development in a street which has since been largely redeveloped.It has since been demolished.
