Shakspeare Terrace: 329-343 Punt Road. Richmond, Victoria
Shakespeare Terrace as viewed from Richmond station
Shakspeare Terrace (an obvious if curious mispelling of the famous Shakespeare) is a row of eight double storey Victorian Italianate terraces positioned as one of the most visible in Melbourne commanding a prime position between the Punt Road Oval (and iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground) and Richmond railway station, it is also one of the most sadly neglected terraces in Melbourne.

Keady Hill Houses 554-556 Swanston Street, Carlton. Melbourne, Victoria
Keady Hill Houses 554-556 Swanston Street, Carlton
Like a number former terrace houses around inner Melbourne, this row of two former homes since 1995 has been used as a brothel1 (known as “Manhattan Terrace” and 556 formerly as “Club 556″). The otherwise elegant Victorian Italianate pair were built in 1880 and unlike many used for similar purposes appears to be in remarkably good condition externally, with their elaborate detail and symmetry, including their parapet urn and balustrade largely intact (although the windows, doors and transoms have been modified).
