East Melbourne, Albert Street 366

Description: 

The house is built to the footpath, unusual for its time and in the East Melbourne area. It is a single fronted two storey house of red brick with cement mouldings, now painted.  A crenelated parapet hides a gabled roof and a rough cast cement frieze runs below the cornice.

The house at 366 Albert Street East Melbourne was built in 1909 for the Rev Llewelyn David Bevan (1842-1918). It was built on the land which had once been the garden of the neighbouring house, No 364, which by this time Bevan owned.
