Belmont
East Melbourne, Clarendon Street 162, Belmont
Large three-storey house built to the street.
Belmont was built in 1873 for William Taylor, auctioneer, who lived there for thirty years. He died in 1903 leaving the house to his wife until her death. In later years it became an annexe to the Freemasons' Hospital, but was eventually demolished to create parking space.

104 Simpson Street stands on part of Allotments E and F of Section 22. This land was in turn part of a larger block, originally allotments 14-17 of Section 22, which was granted to the Baptist Church. The land was later resumed and resubdivided creating Allotments A-F and what is now Ola Cohn Place.
