Description: 

A pair of cottages

Winston Burchett on his index card referring to 93 Simpson Street quotes an entry in the City of Melbourne's building register as follows: 'Laurence Hanlon to build for self two brick and stone cottages fronting Simpson Street' It is unlikely that this entry refers to 93, which does not appear to be recorded until 1869.
