Eamont Terrace
East Melbourne, Grey Street 049, 051, 53, 55, 57, 59, Eamont Terrace
Two two storey brick houses, with cast iron balconies, built as a pair to match existing houses, but no longer matching due to later alterations. Remaining four houses replaced by a block of 1960s three story apartments.
The houses at 49 and 51 Grey Street were built in 1871 for Isaac Sanderson, Gentleman. They were part of a terrace of six. The middle two, 53 and 55, were built in 1862, and Sanderson lived at 53 till his death in 1905. 57 and 59 were built in 1866. Together they were known as Eamont Terrace. Originally they had no balconies and simple timber verandahs below.

The photo shows four two storey terrace houses and a single storey double fronted house. The terrace was known as Eamont Terrace. The two houses on the left were built in 1862, and the two on the right in 1866. The single storey house was built in 1867. This dates the photo between 1867 and 1871 when another pair of matching terrace houses were built to the left of the existing ones.
