General notes:
The house at 591 Spencer Street was built c1881. The house is first listed in the Sands & McDougall directories in 1882, occupied by Benjamin Woods. In 1890, when the house was given its present street number, the house was owned and occupied by James T Millerd. At that time the house was described in the rate books as a brick house with four rooms.It is a single storey, single fronted Victorian cottage. The walls are of brick, and the steeply pitched transverse gabled roof is clad in corrugated galvanised steel. It has a concave profile verandah which spans between wing walls. The façade is presently obscured by a high fence.It is of local aesthetic and historical significance, being representative of the cottages which were constructed in large numbers in West and North Melbourne in the nineteenth century. Although a high brick fence presently obscures the façade, the house otherwise relates visually to the its neighbour at No. 589. Its unusual side elevation also contributes to the streetscape.
