East Melbourne, Victoria Parade 458, Dorijo
A three storey building of rendered brick containing 12 apartments in the Art Deco style. As it faces Victoria Parade it is a symmetrical building with the main entrance at the ground floor level of the central element, and above French doors opening onto balconies. The balconies diminish in width as they progress up the building giving a sense of increased height.

East Melbourne, Wellington Parade 012
A clinker brick, two-storey building of simple classical design with ornamentation limited to an Art Deco decorative feature at the roofline and stylised lettering on the side wall facing an access lane. It appears almost two dimensional in denial of its difficult triangular site. It could be a stage set.
In 1900 two 2-storey brick houses on this site were sold for demolition and removal to make way for the new extension to the Inner Circle railway line which opened in 1902. The railway line cut diagonally through the land leaving the cramped, triangular site we see today. This unused land remained vacant until 1939 when the current building was completed.
