Pasadena

East Melbourne, Grey Street 087

Description: 

A single storey, single fronted cottage, well set back from the street, with a large garden in front. 

The facade has been reconstructed, with cement render covering the original polychrome brick and new decorative lace work over the verandah (possibly aluminium).

History: 

The house at 87 Grey Street was built for Alexander Hutchison, a compositor. Sometimes he is described as a civil servant. It is possible, perhaps, that he worked for the Government Printing Offices on Eastern Hill.
