The structure is almost invisible. It presents as a large brick cube covered in Virginia creeper. Corners of the roof have been cut away to allow for two small garden spaces which act as light wells.
In 1868 the Church of England completed its first East Melbourne vicarage on land granted to it on the south side of Hotham Street, near Hoddle Street, one half acre in all. Today its address would be 21-25 Hotham Street, which address now holds two blocks of apartments. The vicarage was built on the western half of the block leaving the rest as garden.

Girls' Training Home for Domestic Service
Brochure, not dated but c.1910. The institute was founded in 1883 and effectively closed in 1939. The brochure is yellowed with age and moth or insect eaten. It is about 25cm wide by 20cm high. The middle page is actually 50cm wide but is folded in to the centre on both sides to match the front and back pages.
