Two storeyed, single fronted house with cast iron balcony, in the style of a terrace house.
The 1870 Rate Books list John Kelly as the owner, and describe the house as having '6 rooms bathroom 2 kitchens servants room and shed'. Thereafter it is listed simply as 8 rooms. In 1873 William Sydney Gibbons appears for the first time as the owner. He lived there with his family until his death in 1917. Gibbons was an analyst, and for many years, the government analyst.
East Melbourne, Grey Street 035, Irwell Cottage
Single fronted, single storey cottage.
The cottage was built in 1861 for Edward Septimus Heelis, who occupied it until 1866. He continued to own it until about 1885, when William Henry Kelly, the owner of the neighbouring houses at 37 and 39 Grey Street, bought it. From 1868 until 1872 the cottage was occupied by Chiu Ang Goon (various spellings), and from 1874 to 1875 by Louis Suhard.
East Melbourne, Grey Street 037-039
A pair of two storey houses, the second attic style floor being within the roof cavity. The houses were extensively modified in 1936.
Number 37 was built for William Kelly in 1860 on land 40ft. x 70ft. According to the Rate Books it had three rooms. In 1867 William Kelly registered a notice of intention to build extensions and alterations to the house. It then became five rooms. The land size was reduced to 20ft x 70ft coinciding with the appearance of a similar five roomed house on the excised vacant block (No. 39).
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.
