East Melbourne, Albert Street 332, 334
A pair of two-storey, single fronted houses built as mirror twins, with front doors side by side under arched porticos. Verandahs on the ground floor, no balconies. Regency influence.
The first owner of this pair of houses, John Alfred Porter, Prothonotary of the Supreme Court, built his own house at 332 Albert Street first and then a matching one two years later as an investment. Henry Gyles Turner, eminent in his professional world of banking, and equally so in Melbourne's literary world, lived at 334 Albert Street for a time.

Three terrace houses built in a stepped arrangement to accomodate the steep slope of the site.
The first house on this allotment was a remnant of the old Mounted Police Barracks. It and the hospital, which became the Berry Street Babies’ Home, were the only two buildings to remain after all the others were cleared in preparation for the subdivision and sale of the site in 1881.
