Background
This Review does not include a review of existing
management policies by the City of Melbourne.
Refer to following management policies set out in
the Melbourne Planning Scheme.
City of Melbourne heritage management policies

The management policies applied by Council when
considering relevant permit applications are
dependent on the particular place and streetscape
grading. These performance standards are set out
in the “Heritage Places Outside the Capital City
Zone” local policy at Clause 22.05 of the
Melbourne Planning Scheme. This local policy only
applies to places within the Heritage Overlay Area
that are situated outside of the Capital City Zone.
City of Melbourne heritage policy reference

The heritage policy references for the project area
are as follows.

History
Although these houses were built separately, from
c1875 they had a common ownership. From 1862, 94
Abbotsford Street was owned and occupied by William
Ellis, then Thomas Ellis, until 1875. By then, George
Ogilvy (sic) had 92 Abbotsford Street built (1873) and he
acquired 94 in 1876. From then until 1897, the owners
were Mary Smith and James Rogerson.
Description
A face-brick (painted) pair of parapeted, single-fronted
row houses with timber posted verandahs, shuttered
windows and timber-slatted balustrade fence at the
building line. Panelled cast-iron friezes similar to No. 90
are present, without the brackets. A dog-tooth brick
string course below a brick cornice adds a typical early
detail. As with 90, no chimneys are evident. It is likely
that the facades of both were renovated in c1875 by
Thomas Ellis, builder or that 92 was built to match 94.
Notable features include shutters, verandah, tiles
Integrity
The bricks have been painted, part of 94's fence
removed and the cladding removed from the roof of 92;
the roof gutter has been replaced and
possibly the cast-iron brackets removed.
Note: renovation was in progress during survey.
Streetscape
Part of an early streetscape unified by narrow
frontages, stucco finish, original fencing and proximity
to the street.
Architecturally, the original shutters, fence and brick
dog-toothing are valuable early details and the pair play
an important role in this early streetscape: of local
importance.

door with fanlight, and the window is a timber-framed
double-hung sash with decorative shutters. The metal
fence is not original.
Statement of Significance The house at 193 Adderley
Street, West Melbourne, is of local historical and aesthetic
interest. Reasonably intact, the house is representative of
the type of modest workers' cottages which were
constructed in large numbers in North and West
Melbourne in the Victorian period.
Other Comments
Upgraded from E to D. The house is a reasonably intact
example of its style and type, and its individual value is
reinforced by its setting.

History
The house at 193 Adderley Street was built c.1876. It is
when the occupant was George Smith, who remained
there until at least 1881. Between 1882 and 1898, the
property was owned by the Victorian Permanent
Property Investment and Building Society. In 1898,
ownership was transferred to William Breese, an engine
driver, who retained it until 1904, when it was
transferred to Flora McCallum. Subsequent owners

suffered a setback in 1983 when the newly elected Labor
Government failed to implement its stated policy of
stopping uranium mining.[8] But by the late 1980s, the
price of uranium had fallen, the costs of nuclear power
had risen, and the anti-nuclear movement seemed to have
won its case; CANE was disbanded in 1988.[9]
About 2003, proponents of nuclear power advocated it as

a solution to global warming and the Australian
government began taking an interest. Anti-nuclear
campaigners and some scientists in Australia argued that
nuclear power could not significantly substitute for other
power sources, and that uranium mining itself could
become a significant source of greenhouse gas
emissions.[10][11]

Extensions to the railway-yards at West Melbourne
necessitate the removal of Adderley street to some
distance eastward of its present position, and the
demolition of the box factory of Sands and McDougall
Pty. Ltd. Faced with these changes the firm has decided to
erect in Batman street one of the largest factory buildings
yet built in Melbourne. The architects for the work are
Messrs. Arthur and Hugh L. Peck, of 99 Queen street, who
planned the original factory 20 years ago. In going over
the old buildings the architects made an interesting
comparison of construction costs to-day and 1907. The
old building cost £8,000 to build 20 years ago. To erect a
similar structure to-day it is estimated would cost
£20,000.

established streets. The revision of a-contextual
modernism, and its excessive focus on industrial and
production imagery, could be addressed by a return to
contextual linkage through older and distinctively local
textures, colour, material and forms. The Carlton and
North Fitzroy housing of Station, Kay, and Canning Streets,
the incursions there by Edmond and Corrigan, Greg
Burgess, Peter Crone and Norman Day, accompanied by
the act of buying older houses (establishing a new social

`This was in the Hamer period of Liberal government, as
was the infill phase, the next stage in Government
housing, at its outset. This saw a complete refocus on the
single or two-storeyed house, as a terrace, dropped into a
row of other houses, or continuing a suburban street
pattern. Here a convergence of later ideas was brought to
bear: mixed urban use as prescribed by Jane Jacobs in
1963 seemed more reachable if you integrated new
housing visually within older suburbs. And concerns about
social stigma of conspicuously different housing projects

bear: mixed urban use as prescribed by Jane Jacobs in

metal-smelting per annum, but at present something like
2000 tons are got through comfortably in the course of a
year, the turnover being given at £24,000. When the
adoption of the lino-type system by the great newspapers
of Australia created a demand tor linotype metal, Mr.
Sinanian was one of the first Australians to foresee the
demand, and arranged the furnacing conditions of his
company's works accordingly. All metals associated with
the printing trade are turned out in large quantities, as
also some of the most useful alloys used In connection
with the engineering and lead working trades. Within
recent date some forty tons of linotype besides stereotype
and morline metal are said to have been placed to the
order of the Victorian Government, as also a goodly
supply to the Government Printing Office, Tasmania,
besides innumerable private orders. It is pleasing to note
that the Moreland Smelting Company are extending their
buying operations to Queensland, which should prove a
good opportunity for the dealers of this State to get rid of
obsolete metal refuse and hardware fragments, which are
too frequently consigned to the rubbish heap as waste
and useless products. Further particulars respecting ibis

`Single storey brick industrial building built around 1930.'
Morris Register of Victoria website, 2016

http://moreg.org.au/
`RUSKIN
...Most Morris cars of the period (Interwar) to be seen in
Australia, would have bodywork from one of the many
coachbuilders who took advantage of the policy of
allowing the import of motor cars in chassis form while
complete cars carried a penal import duty. One such body
builder was Ruskin Motor Bodies Ltd., of Dudley Street,
West Melbourne in Victoria.

SURVEYED PLACES
Ruskins evolved out of the early Melbourne motor Dudley Street 97 -99
business of Tarrant Motors which appeared during the
first decade of the 20th century, spawning several
operating subsidiaries including Smith’s coach building
business in Queensbridge Street, South Melbourne in
1903. Four years later the motor body department moved
to larger premises in Exhibition Street, Melbourne and
adopted the title the “Melbourne Motor Body Works”.

Ruskins evolved out of the early Melbourne motor
business of Tarrant Motors which appeared during the
first decade of the 20th century, spawning several
operating subsidiaries including Smith’s coach building
business in Queensbridge Street, South Melbourne in
1903. Four years later the motor body department moved
to larger premises in Exhibition Street, Melbourne and
adopted the title the “Melbourne Motor Body Works”.

History - Michael Moran, who owned other hotels

around the area built the Bay View Hotel on this site in
1864-5 and was also the publican until at least 1870. He
continued to own the hotel for over ten years, when it
was taken over by the West End Brewery, later in
association with Carlton and United Breweries (1896).1
Other licensees included Kierin Caulfield; 2 Miss Milton
and Mary Rush. 3 (Refer 32-4 Capel Street)
Description - Builders. J. Holmes and later, James Healy,
built this stuccoed brick and stone, parapeted hotel of
two- storeys. 4 A simply moulded cornice, architraves
and six-pane sashes denote the building's age. The
remnants of a three room cottage (1867) survive on the
north side. 5
Integrity - Generally original except new, unruled stucco
and other minor aspects such as replacement of
doorway and door.
Streetscape - Isolated corner element with some
relationship to two two-storey row houses on the north
and east sides (Walsh and King Street).
Significance - Architecturally. a typical corner sited.
Simply designed hotel building which exhibits a form
used from early in Melbourne's history until the 1880s:
of regional importance.
Historically, as an hotel, the social centre of the locality
and associated with hotelier, Moran, who was also
connected with the Rob Roy and Mansion House hotels
in West Melbourne: of regional interest.
Recommendations - Repaint in typical or original
colours;
consider restoration of doorway and door.

Architects Pty Ltd. after the Royal Australian Institute of
Architects approved the principle of architects practising
as proprietary limited companies. Balcombe Griffiths and
Roy Simpson (being the youngest of the original group)
were the sole survivors of the five original partners, along
with descendant John Yuncken, subsequently added Barry
Patten and John Gates (1953), Robert Peck and Jamie
Learmonth and others. Key staff included Angel Dimitroff
(Myer Music Bowl) and Llew Morgan (Eagle Star and BHP
House). Patten introduced the firm's characteristic
international Modern style, based on the work of Mies
Van Der Rohe, as seen in their 411 King Street offices,
Eagle Star & BHP House. Robert Peck, as YFA managing
director in the late 1970s and a City of Melbourne
councillor, chaired the City's new committee on old
buildings until he lost his seat in 1979. The advisory
committee included representatives from the National
Trust, Town & Country Planning Board, Ministries for
Planning and Local Government, the Historic Buildings
Preservation Council and the Building Owners and
Managers Association (BOMA).
As with many architectural firms, YFA was forced to sack

15 architects and the 8 directors took a 20% pay cut in the
mid 1970s, only 5 years after completion of the State
Government Offices. Director, Barry Patten told `The Age'
newspaper "The situation is very bad- there just isn't any
work available". Five years ago about 80% of their work
had been in the private sector and the rest in Government
but the situation had reversed by 1975, with government
budget cuts and the private sector hardly moving. `We
have employed people for years and we are now finding it
very difficult to keep them occupied. It is very worrying."

Victorian Heritage Register citation (H2133)

The underground men's public toilet in West
Melbourne, built in 1938, is one of eleven built in
Melbourne in the early twentieth century in response to
public demand for public toilet facilities in Melbourne
that were both sanitary and discreet. Street-level toilets
were regarded as indecently open to public view.
Underground toilets removed toilets from public view,
and had already been built in Scotland, England and
Sydney. The establishment in December 1890 of the
Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works, responsible
for building and maintaining an underground sewerage
system, had provided the necessary infrastructure. The
first underground public toilet in Melbourne, which
included facilities for women as well as men, was
opened in Russell Street in 1902. Several more were
built before World War I: a men's in Queen Street in
1905; a men's and women's in Elizabeth Street opposite
the Queen Victoria Market in 1907; a men's in Swanston
Street in 1909 (now demolished); a women's in
Elizabeth Street outside the GPO in 1910 (a men's was
added in c1927); and a women's outside the Town Hall
in Collins Street in 1914 (a men's was added c1960). A
men's was built in Flinders Street in 1918. Four more
were built in the inter-war period: this one in West
Melbourne, one in Carlton, and two in East Melbourne
(one of which has been demolished).
The underground public toilet is in a small park at the
corner of King and Hawke Streets, West Melbourne,
near the south end of the Errol Street shopping strip.
Above ground elements are very similar to the earlier
underground toilets built in Melbourne between 1902
and 1918, and consist of two stairway entrances
enclosed by iron railings, iron gates and cast iron
combined ventilation pipes and sign posts. An additional
feature at ground level, found only on this toilet and the
one in Carlton built in 1939, is the Moderne style
polychrome brick ventilation shaft with decorative
wrought iron panels. The toilet has now been
decommissioned and the entrances are covered by
concrete slabs. The condition of the interior is unknown.
The underground public toilet in West Melbourne is of
historical and architectural significance to the state of
Victoria.
The underground public toilet in West Melbourne is of
historical significance as one of the group of public
toilets built in Melbourne in the early twentieth century
which reflects an important era of sanitary,
technological and social reform, as well as
contemporary attitudes to public decency. It is a
reflection of a major engineering achievement, the
development of Melbourne's underground water,
drainage and sewerage system, and the advances in
sanitation and public health made possible, following
the establishment of the Melbourne & Metropolitan
Board of Works in 1890.

History
Builder, John Bell of Carlton, built these houses in 1883,
selling them immediately to James Dewar (585)
previously of Barwise Street, Hotham, and Mrs M. Bell
(587). Dewar continued to own the house and reside
there until after 1896. Mrs Bell had sold 587 King Street
to William Malchow by 1890.
Description
Two storey, parapeted coloured brick row house pair,
with cast iron verandah of two levels and an iron front
fence. Segment arched entablatures are flanked by cast
iron finials set on piers. Subtle differences denote the
custom built nature of the houses, such as the arched
entrance and fanlight of No. 587 compared with the
more austere flat-arched entrance of No. 585.

objection are (a) that the will was not executed by

to the period shortly before and at the time of execution,
(2) existing before such period and due to imbecility, of

infant Melbourne township, the Benevolent Asylum was
opened on 27 November 1851 to 'relieve the aged, infirm,
disabled or destitute of all creeds and nations' in the
town's early days. The asylum was built by the Victoria
Benevolent Society, a group of philanthropic citizens
determined to house the colony's 'deserving poor' in more
dignified fashion than the dreaded workhouses of the new
English Poor Law. In accordance with a pattern already
established for the development of charities in Victoria,

times in its first 20 years. In 1873 the society commenced
negotiations with the Victorian Government about
relocating from the overcrowded site, but with no result.
The society responded by erecting more wards on the 10-
acre (4 ha) site, reaching a capacity of 685 beds.
The depression of the 1890s severely strained the
resources of the asylum, 878 applicants being turned away
site at Cheltenham in 1911 and the old buildings fronting
Curzon Street in North Melbourne were demolished. By
then almost 15 000 people had been assisted by the
society.
With the establishment of other asylums throughout rural
Victoria, the Benevolent Asylum was renamed the
Melbourne Benevolent Asylum in 1868. Now known as the
vastly different aged care service from its 1850s
forerunner.

Valkyrie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
`The Ride of the Valkyrs (1909) by John Charles Dollman
In Norse mythology, a valkyrie (from Old Norse valkyrja
"chooser of the slain") is one of a host of female figures
who choose those who may die in battle and those who
may live. Selecting among half of those who die in battle
(the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field
Fólkvangr), the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife
hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin.
There, the deceased warriors become einherjar (Old Norse
"single (or once) fighters"[1]). When the einherjar are not
preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear
them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and
other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the
daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens
and sometimes connected to swans or horses.
Valkyries are attested in the Poetic Edda, a book of poems

compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional
sources; the Prose Edda and Heimskringla (by Snorri
Sturluson), and Njáls saga, a Saga of Icelanders, all written
in the 13th century. They appear throughout the poetry of
skalds, in a 14th-century charm, and in various runic
inscriptions.'

engaged in business for himself,-and continued-to evince

his long and varied career had endowed him with.. About
six years ago he was gazetted a justice of the peace, and

as deputy returning officer was a- prominent -figure--at
local parliamentary elections. He was also a member of
the West Melbourne Board of Advice for about 5 years. As
magistrate he was very painstaking, and on holidays, while
others were enjoying themselves, would make the rounds
of the North and West Melbourne, City, Bourke-street
west, and other lockups, discharging the drunkards and
remanding other offenders. The above gentleman
formerly resided in Port Melbourne but has been a citizen
of West Melbourne for about fifteen years. He leaves a
widow and a family of two sons and four daughters to
mourn his loss, whom, we have no doubt, are the objects
of widespread sympathy and condolence.
In disposition Mr. Bindon was straight forward and candid.
He possessed generous impulses, and did many little acts
of unknown and unchronicled kindness. Genuine distress
had his ready sympathy, and he was a man of action
rather than sentiment. One thing he was utterly unable to
do, and that was to cherish resentment, and even
regarding those with whom he had differences he
retained no feeling of enmity.

History
Robert Finlay commissioned builder, William Little of
Barkly Street to erect a 'cottage' at Miller Street in 1861.
He occupied what was valued as a stone house with
four rooms on land 30 x 100 feet. The description and
occupancy varied little in the next forty years. During
that period Finlay's occupation is unclear. A Robert
Finlay was a silversmith on the South Bank of the Yarra
River in the 1880s and, later, a shipwright, but this
Robert Finlay appeared to live in South Melbourne. The
vantage point
of the house, overlooking the bay, may be related. In
electoral rolls of c1900, Finlay is described as a
'gentleman' or 'independent means' . He lived there
with Elspeth (his wife?) and Bessie (his daughter ?) who
was a seamstress.
Ann C. O'Brien (Mrs Anne O'Brien lived off 40 Lt.
Lonsdale Street in c1900) owned the house from the
early 1900s, until the Victorian Iron Rolling Co. Pty.'s
tenure of the early 192Os. By then the house was five
rooms and the land 33 x171 feet and, by c194O, it was 6
rooms but 33 feet x111, later owner-occupiers were
Herbert Jarnes & Edward Allan Ng Tye Din, fruiterers.
Description
Simply elevated, this stone house represents the
Colonial Georgian style continued here from British
practice, the nature of the stone lending local content.
It is parapeted, symmetrical and faced with basalt
masonry with dressed quoins plinth and sills. The side-
walls are coursed rubble.
External Integrity
The fence (presumed timber picket) and the door has
been replaced; new tiles added to sill (?); new concrete
paving at front and new roofing. Other sundry service
lines and out buildings have also been added.

History - These shops and residences were all built

c1865, possibly by Thomas Pearson a contractor, who
retained 61 and 63 Peel Street and sold the other two to
Mrs. Chadwick, possibly the wife of Thomas Chadwick, a
publican of Flemington. Pearson lived in one of his
houses until he sold them in 1871, later owners being
Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. White who owned them for over
twenty years. Mrs. Chadwick's houses were sold in
1878, later owners being A. &M. McSweeney. Some of
the tenants were of quite long-standing e.g. John Geary
and Miss Mary Geary, a music teacher; probably his
sister. (1870-1885); Bridget Gaffney (1881-1897). 3
(McSweeney -refer 333-5 Queensberry Street). Of note
is a permit application for one two-storey house in Peel
Street, by Mrs. Chadwick in 1864; the builder was
Charles Fewster. However, whether built by Fewster or
Pearson, all houses have similar characteristics. 4
Description - A row of parapeted two-storey houses

with formerly two level cast-iron and timber verandahs
which are now partly shop fronts. 61-3 has a gabled
parapet entablature, with scrolls, which bears the name
'Peel Terrace A.D. 1868' (rate books give an addition of
two rooms per house in 1869, which indicates general
improvements in 1868 5, 57 has simple corniced
parapets. Common brick and stucco corniced chimneys
are shared by the row, as is the stucco side-wall
ornament: however, 61-3 is face brick and 57-9 stucco
faced.
Iron patterns also differ as do the verandah posts
(round section foliated capitals on 57-9, square section
capitals and posts on 61-3).
Integrity - Shop fronts have replaced all the ground

levels and associated windows, doors decoration and
fences, sometime early this century; chimney cornice is
part gone on 61 and the whole chimney gone on 57;

History - Robert Tait had owned a smaller building on

this site before this house was built in 1877 as part of a
row. He continued to own and reside there until after
1895.
Description - A two-storey, parapeted, stuccoed brick
house with a two-level
cast-iron verandah, front fence and scrolled arch-shape
parapet entablature.
The house is double-fronted, possessing an
asymmetrically placed column under the
long-span bressumer, presumably one of two originally
there. Ornament includes
paired brackets at the verandah side walls and the- iron
is of an early pattern.
Integrity - Generally original except for parapet

urns/orbs.
Streetscape - Isolated building.
Significance - Architecturally, an early and large example

of a common type, with some unusual details (compare
175 Hotham Street, East Melbourne for combined
columns and iron) of local importance.
Historically, owned and occupied for a long period by its

These row houses were built in 1868 for Dr. George Moore, a
Queensberry Street surgeon and district public vaccinator. Dr
Moore was also an investor in Moe coal mines and was
involved with the creation of the Narracan Railway in that
district during the 1880s as a potential coal supplier.
Moore leased the cottages to a great range of people including

John Piggott, Ephraim Hill, Johanna Cantwell, Charles
Noble, a local builder(qv) of Capel Street. Another similar
cottage row (5) was built for Dr Moore at 62-68 Rosslyn Street,
the two rows meeting at the former Sowter's shop & residence
at the corner (70-74 Rosslyn Street) also built for Moore. The
combination of house rows, with the hillside setting and
adjacent parkland square of Eades Place, provides for a
distinctive Victorian-era townscape.
Contributory elements include:

A single-storey, brick row of five cottages in Chetwynd Street
and four in Rosslyn Street, all finished in ruled stucco and set
on bluestone footings (typically painted over) with end and
rear walls face brick (see 68 Rosslyn St rendered over in
Chetwynd St);
corner former shop, set on a hemi-hexagonal in plan at the
corner of Chetwynd Street and Rosslyn Street,
transverse gabled, typically corrugated iron clad, roofs (new

cemented chimneys (some cornice details missing) engaged
alternately in expressed party walls that are corbelled back to
the wall line on the street facade;
doors typically placed in pairs, except for 12 Chetwynd St

`Felton Grimwade & Co was established in Melbourne in
about 1867, soon after moving from Russell Street to
Flinders Lane where its importing business flourished. The
firm operated as wholesale druggists but developed into a
large manufacturing enterprise with products including
acids, salt, glass bottles, fertilisers and eucalyptus oil. In
1870 they were operating a chemical works at their Port
Melbourne manufacturing site and as early as 1872 the
Port Melbourne Council opposed the manufacture of
sulphuric acid at its plant. Nevertheless, company
activities from the outset were to include the manufacture
of sulphuric acid and other mineral acids including bi-
sulphide of iron. By 1894 the Ingles Street building was the
principal manufactory at Felton Grimwade and CO's.
Chemical works. The works was extensively damaged by
fire in 1895, but was rebuilt and continued to operate into
the mid twentieth century. 38 The complex was later
occupied by Arthur Vale and Co. Pty. Ltd., oil stores,
Cotton Dressing Pty. Ltd. and the United Oil Co. Pty. Ltd.
oil store. 39 And more recently became part of AMI and
then Toyota. 40 Alfred Felton is remembered for the
generous bequest he gave to the National Gallery of
Victoria, which continues to fund the purchase of
artworks for the state collection.'

The Melbourne Assessment Prison is an Australian remand
and reception prison located in Spencer Street, West
Melbourne, Victoria. The facility is operated by the
Department of Justice, of the Victorian Government.
Function and history...

The prison is also known by the nickname 'The Map'.
Previously known as the Melbourne Remand Centre, the
Melbourne Assessment Prison was originally built to
accommodate Melbourne's remand prisoners and sits on
the site of the former Western Hotel on the corner of
Spencer Street and La Trobe Street just west of
Melbourne's central business district.
The primary purpose of the facility is to provide statewide

assessment and orientation services for all male prisoners
received into the prison system.[1]
In 1997 the prison became the main reception prison for

all male prisoners in Victoria. Initial planning for the prison
commenced in 1974. Construction commenced in
December 1983 and was completed in 1989 at a cost of A
$80m. The prison was officially opened on 6 April 1989,
and received its first prisoners on 29 May 1989.[1]
At least two prisoners have escaped from the Melbourne

Assessment Prison. In one incident explosives smuggled
into the unit were used to blow open the armoured plastic
windows of a cell, while the two inmates hid behind
mattresses (see Peter Gibb). Since then steel bars have
been added to the windows to prevent a
repetition.[citation needed]
The prison has seen a small expansion of its capacity over

the years and now holds 305 prisoners as of mid 2014.

`DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT.
A resident of North Melbourne of 37 years standing,
Shalless, Architect, of Leveson street. The deceased
gentleman sat down to tea on Saturday evening,
apparently in good health, but about 10 o'clock was found
on the floor of the front room rolling about as if in great
pain. He said he thought it was nothing serious, but on Dr
Workman being called in, he expressed an opinion that an
artery in the region of the heart had been ruptured. Mr
Shalless lingered till between 11 and 12 o'clock, when he
expired. The deceased gentleman was 68 years of age at
the time of his death, and was quiet and unobtrusive in his
demeanour, but owing to his gentlemanly consideration
towards others and probity in business, was universally
respected. Mr Shalless took no part in public affairs, but
his friendship was much valued by those who knew him
best, and he will be greatly missed by the members of his
immediate circle of acquaintances. The funeral took place

The pair of shops at 495-497 Spencer Street was
constructed c1886. It first appears in the Sands &

by John R Greenwood, and No. 497 was listed as vacant. In
the following year, the occupants were William Beech and
Mrs Catherine Morris.
The building at 495-497 Spencer Street is a single storey
rendered Italianate style building, originally two shops but
now combined as one. A moulded string course extends
across the facade between corbels, and the parapet is
surmounted by a pair of scrolled segmented arched
pediments. The shopfronts have been altered.
The building at 498-497 Spencer Street, West Melbourne,

is demonstrative of commercial development of the
nineteenth century Boom period, a major phase in the
history of West and North Melbourne. Despite alterations,
the overall nineteenth century form of the building is
apparent, and contributes to the heritage character of the
streetscape in this part of Spencer Street.
