East Melbourne, Gipps Street 157

Description: 

Single storey, single fronted house with bay window. A second storey has been added to the rear.

History: 

In 1865 a three roomed cottage was erected towards the rear of the land. By 1869 the house had doubled in size to six rooms. The addition of a large room at the front brought the house almost to the street and gave it a new asymmetrical appearance. A second storey was added to the rear of the building in 2002. George Milton owned the house until 1922 although he never lived there.
