East Melbourne, Hotham Street 045, 047, 049, 051. Anerley Terrace
This is a fine early Victorian render on masonry terrace of four residences with two storey verandahs and a central cartouche to the parapet. The verandahs have a simple cast iron balustrade and timber 'wave' design fretwork frieze similar to 125 Hotham Street. There is a sparing use of render decoration to the parapet party walls and chimneys. There is intact rear w.c. at No. 49.
Anerley Terrace was built in two sections. The first two houses were built in 1866 and the second two in 1868. The houses were built for Joseph Wilmoth who one reference gives as a law stationer, otherwise his occupation is only ever listed as gentleman. He was a dedicated churchman serving as secretary of The Richmond Young Men's Christian Association, and later as secretary
