Macgregor

East Melbourne, Hotham Street 099, Halloween

Description: 

Symmetrical, two storey, double fronted house with replacement verandah and balcony

History: 

In a Notice of Intent to Build dated 14 March, 1854 George Robinson gave notice of his intention to have builder, Thomas Crawson, erect a three room iron cottage. Robinson gave his address as Clarence Cottage, Fitzroy (Hotham) Street, and in the 1854 Rate Books a four room brick cottage appears under his name. This would indicate that the brick cottage pre-dates the iron one.
