East Melbourne, Simpson Street 137,139
Description:
A pair of single storey, single fronted cottages with wide semi-circular bay windows and arched balustrades above.
History:
The houses were built for two different owners: No 137 was built for Thomas C Wight, printer; and No 139 was built for Alexander Hutchinson. The two men notified the City Council of their intention to build on the same day: 14 February 1859. They chose James Stubbings as builder.
