East Melbourne, Powlett Street 138, The Opera House
A two storey house with a basement level in addition. It has an unusual verandah and balcony which have given rise to it being known as The Opera House. The City of Melbourne Heritage site says, "The balcony is of an unknown date but is believed to be later than 1868.
George Alfred Badger was an architect and built the house for himself. His other architectural work includes grandstands and booths at Flemington, Caulfield, Geelong and Kilmore race tracks and work for the Public Works Department at Parliament House. He never lived in the house and sold it in 1878.
