East Melbourne, Vale Street 058, Minerva

Description: 

A large two storey Italianate house. Its design makes good use of its corner position with return verandahs and bay windows facing both street frontages. All the openings have semi-circle arches with key stones. The house originally had a tower over the central portico, and there was also a great deal more ornament.

History: 

The house was built for John Charles Stanford, auctioneer with the firm of Powers, Rutherford & Co., stock and station agents. He sold it around 1909 when it became the home of John Woolcock, manager, and his wife, Matilda, and youngest son, Harry. It was also the residence of Woolcock's daughter, Alice, and her husband, Samuel Barr. Matilda died in 1909, Samuel in 1911 and John in 1912.
