This is an interesting double fronted single storey ruled render dwelling with concave roofed cast iron verandah. There are simple render mouldings to the parapet and wing walls and fine render chimney. The substantial cast iron palisade fence with bluestone plinth and piers is intact. [i-Heritage database]
The origins of Hazelwell, 121 Powlett Street, are not absolutely clear. On 14 August 1854 Samuel Williams, a plasterer then living in Collingwood, notified the Melbourne City Council that he would build a two-room weatherboard house. It quickly expanded to three rooms plus kitchen, according to the rate books, and then to five rooms.
