East Melbourne, Gipps Street 010
Description:
Very narrow single fronted two storey house.
History:
This little house was built as an investment for George Milton. The rate books described it as having six rooms on land eleven feet by sixty-six feet. Roughly ninety years later it was deemed uninhabitable by the Housing Commission on grounds of its size and its ruinous condition and a demolition order was issued.
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.
