General notes:
Grading as at 1985 : CPeriod : Early Victorian (1868)West Melbourne, builder and stonemason, Alex Cooper, constructed this originally four room brick house in 1868. Cooper also developed property nearby in Capel Street in the 1860s and 1890s. First, Robert Allen, then engineers Samuel and Cyrus Rettalick, and later Mrs. Elizabeth Street leased the house during last century.Slated hip-roof house sited on a splayed, corner street - alignment and with simply moulded architraves and wooden shutters to openings. A small rear yard, bounded by a basalt wall, opens onto Peel Street. Notable features include shutters, chimney pot and rear elevation.Architecturally, an early and near original example of a relatively uncommon row house form which occupies a key site near to related residential streetscapes: of regional importance. Historically, developed by early land holder and developer-builder in the area: of local importance.
