East Melbourne, Gipps Street 010
Very narrow single fronted two storey house.
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
Single storey, single fronted house with bay window. A second storey has been added to the rear.
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.
