Elmore
East Melbourne, Hoddle Street 1101
A large two storey double fronted house. The façade is symmetrical with five windows evenly spaced along the upper floor, repeated below except for the central doorway.
The house was built by Charles Turner of Hawthorn for Mrs Clark in 1871 to the design of the prominent architectural firm of Reed and Barnes. Joseph Reed was known for his ability to design in a variety of styles and it is a pity that this house has been denuded of any clue to its stylistic embellishments.
