East Melbourne, George Street 048, 050
The houses at 48-50 George Street comprise a pair of semi-detached, nineteenth century, Italianate single-storey residences with basements. The facade is rendered with a moulded cornice and plain parapet extending across both houses. Wing walls have curved parapets and decorative pressed cement corbels. Only the house at No. 48 retains a verandah.
This pair of houses was built in 1861 by and for William Crawford of Melbourne. Nothing further can identify this particular William Crawford with any certainty. The houses, in the Burchett Index of Intents to Build (19 Feb 1861), were described as two 4 room cottages of stone and brick. Crawford named them Bremen Cottages. They were tenanted during Crawford’s ownership.
