A six roomed brick house.
Possibly the house referred to in the Notice of Intention to Build as "an additional cottage" The house was built by Thomas Murray, who as a partner in the firm Murray & Hill built many of Melbourne's finest buildings including the Customs House and the Mint. He was a prominent member of Cairns Memorial Church, leaving in 3,000 pounds in his will for the completion of its spire, which however remained unbuilt. He lived next door at 112 Albert Street, in a house built the previous year. The house was owned by him at least until 1890 and rented out. One tenant was the Rev. W.R. Wade, baptist minister, who had previously lived at 42 George Street, East Melbourne. The site is now occupied by a block of apartments.
1867-1870c: Henry Ford 1870c-1880c: Mrs. Jarrett 1880c-1890c: W.R. Wade
