East Melbourne, Wellington Parade 002, 4, 6, 8, 10, Wellington Terrace
A terrace of five two-storey houses of simple design. The terrace displays regularly spaced windows on the upper level, three to each house, and below a verandah with concave roof supported by a central column, and simple iron frieze and brackets.
This early terrace was built by Samuel Amess and Alexander McLaren, both building contractors. Their partnership broke up soon after. In 1864 Amess was elected to the Melbourne City Council and was mayor 1869-1871. Amess Street in Carlton is named after him.
