East Melbourne, Grey Street 151, Lansdowne Villa
East Melbourne, Hotham Street 081
A two storey tuckpointed brick residence on bluestone plinth with arcaded entry porch. The porch has a diamond pattern, black and white marble surface. The main facade has double hung square headed windows (semi circular arches over entry). The house is built right to the footpath, with no setback.
Brennand and Brooks built the house for John Glew (sometimes Glue) in 1855. An advertisement in the Argus of that year called for tenders for "40 feet Palings (pallisade), and 205 feet Fencing, in FitzRoy street east, East Melbourne" (Hotham Street was originally called Fitzroy Street). This possibly fits with the rather flexible land measurements given in the Rate Books.
