East Melbourne, Grey Street 087
A single storey, single fronted cottage, well set back from the street, with a large garden in front.
The facade has been reconstructed, with cement render covering the original polychrome brick and new decorative lace work over the verandah (possibly aluminium).
The house at 87 Grey Street was built for Alexander Hutchison, a compositor. Sometimes he is described as a civil servant. It is possible, perhaps, that he worked for the Government Printing Offices on Eastern Hill.
East Melbourne, Simpson Street 121, Talbot Villa
A two storey, double fronted, free-standing house on a corner allotment. There is a verandah and balcony to one side with timber posts, freize and balustrade. The other side has an oriel window below a timbered gable roof.
The house was originally built in 1870 for Henry Talbot Thornton as a single storey cottage. He called the house Talbot Villa as shown in a birth announcement in the Argus. Another birth announcement in 1883, this time for the child of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Henderson, shows that the house was still known under the same name.
