Costelloe
East Melbourne, Simpson Street 167, 169
A pair of single storey, single fronted cottages. The facades have been modernised, with a window exchanged for french doors in one, and the lace-work trim to the verandah removed in the other. The parapet has an unusual undulating form, with small masks placed in each dip. The chimneys too, are of unusual form. The caps may have been replaced.
These two houses, were built by Walter Fortune for Paul Francis Costelloe, real estate agent, in 1871. Costelloe, himself, advertised:
