General notes:
Grading as at 1999 : DPeriod : Mid Victorian - constructed 1873The pair of houses at 87-89 Rosslyn Street, originally Nos. 12-14, was built c.1873. The Sands & McDougall directory for 1874 lists the houses as vacant, while the following year, the occupants listed are Thomas Henderson and a Mrs Moore.They are a pair of single-storey Victorian cottages built to the property line and with a low-pitched hipped roof partially concealed behind a parapet. Each house has an asymmetrically-positioned timber-panelled entrance door with fanlight, flanked by double-hung sash windows with vertical glazing bars. The houses are particularly plain: ornamentation is limited to a rendered moulding extends across the façade at parapet level. Alterations include the recladding of the roof with terracotta tiles.They are of local aesthetic and historic interest, being representative of the cottages which were constructed in large numbers in West and North Melbourne in the nineteenth century. Particularly austere and substantially intact, the houses are interesting heritage elements in the streetscape.
