East Melbourne, Powlett Street 132, 134, 136
A terrace of three two storey houses. All of tuck-pointed brown brick with cast iron balconies. Two of the terraces are now painted. No. 136 has had its front fence removed.
The houses were completed in 1871 by building contractor, Robert Richardson, for himself. He advertised them on completion, 'To LET, three seven-roomed HOUSES in Powlett-street, with bathrooms, balcony back, and front'. They were referred to briefly as Richardson's terrace but since then appear not to have been known as a single entity, but rather by individual names. No.
