East Melbourne, Gipps Street 080, Clinton Hall

Description: 

This is an elaborately detailed mock medieval block of flats designed to look like one house, with tuckpointed brick quoins and rough render panels. There is a corbelled brick string course and label mouldings over windows. There is an oriel window to the west facade and fine leadlights to all windows.

History: 

These flats are a conversion of an old single storey house. MMBW plans show a small, perhaps four roomed house set well to rear of block, yet there is a small sketch plan in the Building Application file for Clinton Hall which shows a much larger house.
