127 Greeves Street, Fitzroy. Melbourne, Victoria
127 Greeves Street, Fitzoy. Melbourne, Victoria
Tucked in a narrow one-way Fitzroy lane, this wide freestanding boom style terrace is extremely exuberant example of the free classical style. Of note is its specially cast iron lacework “opera box” style balcony and the multitude of male head busts which litter the party walls on either side, facing both forward and downward.

This row of two storey terraces sits in a little side street just of Johnston Street in Fitzroy. Built right up to the property line, the narrow terraces have an italianate style similar to many in Sydney. The small deck has parquetry floor tiles and a small cast iron fence with gate.

Easton Terrace: 138-158 Charles Street, Abbotsford. Melbourne, Victoria
Easton Terrace: 138-158 Charles Street. Abbotsford, Victoria
Easton Terrace is one of Melbourne’s longest rows of polychrome terrace houses, right in the middle of Charles Street Precinct, one of Melbourne’s most uniform Victorian workers cottage streetscapes. Abbotsford is one of the few areas in inner Melbourne to remain working class right up until the 2000s when gentrification began due primarily to the proximity of the city. There are still many working class households and as a result many of the suburbs terraces are still waiting restoration – others however appear beyond salvation.
