East Melbourne, Albert Street 340, 342
Matching pair of two storey houses with verandahs below, no balcony.
340 Albert Street was built as a family home for Abraham Goldberg while its neighbour, 342, was an investment property, probably leased as a lodging house. Between 1881 and 1891 Mrs Muir ran the East Melbourne School at 342.
East Melbourne, Burchett Lane 015
The structure is almost invisible. It presents as a large brick cube covered in Virginia creeper. Corners of the roof have been cut away to allow for two small garden spaces which act as light wells.
In 1868 the Church of England completed its first East Melbourne vicarage on land granted to it on the south side of Hotham Street, near Hoddle Street, one half acre in all. Today its address would be 21-25 Hotham Street, which address now holds two blocks of apartments. The vicarage was built on the western half of the block leaving the rest as garden.
