East Melbourne, Albert Street 472, 476
A pair of houses of classical design with a covered carriageway between.
This pair of houses, together known as Fairmount, were built in 1874 for James Garton, livery stables proprietor, by Robert Huckson to the design of architect George Browne.
East Melbourne, Vale Street 26, 28
These buildings are contributory to the predominant use of red brick and terracotta tiles in this street. They are an adaptation of a rather suburban style to terrace house building. The design of each is deliberately varied so that the buildings appear as one whole. A successful use of the corner location to emphasise the turret and bay window. [i-Heritage database]
These two houses were built in 1910 by R J Wilson of Ormond Road, Moonee Ponds for Henry Fowler Ransford, customs agent. Henry Ransford never lived in either house but his two sons, Vernon Seymour Ransford and Clive Ainslie Ransford lived in the corner house, No 28, until about 1919. They called this house Chandos.
