East Melbourne, Grey Street 037-039

Description: 

A pair of two storey houses, the second attic style floor being within the roof cavity. The houses were extensively modified in 1936.

History: 

Number 37 was built for William Kelly in 1860 on land 40ft. x 70ft. According to the Rate Books it had three rooms. In 1867 William Kelly registered a notice of intention to build extensions and alterations to the house. It then became five rooms. The land size was reduced to 20ft x 70ft coinciding with the appearance of a similar five roomed house on the excised vacant block (No. 39).
