Initially described in the Rate Books as six rooms, the following year the description changes to five rooms, pantry, bath and shed, and by 1875 it has become seven rooms. Fielding lived in the house until 1883 when he sold to Robert Richardson who added another room. From this time it was leased to the police and was the local police station.

A photo in 'We of the Never Never with a memoir of Mrs. Gunn by Margaret Berry' shows the house as a large two storey house with a verandah and balcony with cast iron decoration on the west side; and on the east a simple rendered facade with a pair of arched windows above and below. Rate Books describe it as a brick house of twelve rooms.
Mrs. Aeneas Gunn, author of Australian classic, We of the Never Never, occupied the house with her two sisters, Elizabeth Christine Taylor and Carrie Templeton. We of the Never Never with a memoir of Mrs Gunn by Margaret Berry describes the household of "three middle aged very abstemious ladies with a maid". There are photos of the house, and author in the garden.

Three three storey terrace houses of rendered brick. No. 182 retains a timber verandah and balcony at ground and first floor level. Its design and construction are unique. The verandahs and balconies have been removed from Nos. 184 and 186, however No. 184 is currently undergoing restoration and its verandah and balcony will be replaced.
The houses were designed by Joseph Reed who was probably the best known and most prolific architect in nineteenth century Melbourne.
