Geddes

East Melbourne, Simpson Street 099, 101

Description: 

A pair of single storey, single fronted cottages. A c.1960s addition has been made to the fronts of the cottages.

History: 

It appears from the Rate Books that No. 101 was built three years later than No. 99, although the Intent to Build is for two houses. Thomas Geddes did not live in either house and sold both c.1862. For the next ten years the houses changed hands several times until sold to William Sheridan c.1873. He continued to own them until at least 1890.
