East Melbourne, Albert Street 132, 134
A rather severe pair of dwellings with simple details. The two storey verandah is virtually completely altered. The six pane sashes to the rear would suggest an early date. [City of Melbourne i-Heritage database]
These two houses were built by John O’Brien for William Lumsden and Eliza, his wife, in 1866. According to his short obituary in the Argus in 1905:
East Melbourne, Clarendon Street 060, Gnaroo
Large two storey brick house, with tiled roof, large verandahs and no chimneys
The house was built in 1912 for Charles Tait by builders, Morley & Whelan, to the design of architects, Klingender & Alsop. Table Talk gave a glowing account of its features: A new house which is being built in East Melbourne is causing quite a lot of comment because, apparently, it has no chimneys, and has such lovely balconies and verandahs.
