East Melbourne, Victoria Parade 154, 156, 158, 160

Description: 
A wide freestanding Victorian Villa of substantial proportions. It incorporates bracketed eaves, with returns under a gently pitched hipped roof over a sober facade composed symmetrically around a generously proportioned entrance doorway. A substantial fence and gracious steps lead to the building.
History: 
This impressive house was designed in 1882 by Alfred Friedrich (Fritz) Kursteiner for Dr Alexander Buttner and completed in 1883. The builder was William Muller. Kursteiner was born in Basle, Switzerland, and worked in Melbourne from c.1853 to 1893 when like many architects who suffered a downturn in work during the depression, he moved to Western Australia, where he died in 1897.
