Middlemo

East Melbourne, Hoddle Street 1151

Description: 

A symmetrical single storey, double fronted weatherboard house. The front is executed in blockwork to imitate ashlar stonework. It has a particularly steeply pitched hipped slate roof and a timber verandah with convex iron and timber posts with cast iron frieze. The verandah may be a later addition. This is possibly a prefabricated building from Kent or Essex.

History: 

This is one of the only two weatherboard buildings extant in east Melbourne, and is representative of the large number of similar buildings that were built in East Melbourne in the 1850s and early 1860s.
