328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria
Former Terrace Houses: 328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria.
This is one of my favourite Melbourne terraces and one of the only ones remaining along Kings Way.
While the landmark triple “boom style” storey terrace is within its own heritage overlay HO1771, unfortunately last month there was an application to demolish the terraces. They appear destined to be incorporated into a 14 storey apartment tower development.
The terraces have been used commercially for many years, the most recent being an Italian restaurant, using the top levels and balconies for functions and dining.

Roseneath and Culloden Cottage: 311-313 Coventry Street, South Melbourne. Victoria
Roseneath and Culloden Cottage 311-313 Coventry Street, South Melbourne. Victoria
Roseneath and Culloden Cottage are a fine pair of semi-detached single storey Victorian Italianate terrace houses in South Melbourne. The most notable feature is the elaborate parapet mouldings which is strongly visually separated by a bold cornice and includes a named cartouche framed by scrolls and other mouldings in an unusual free classical composition. Both are currently adaptively used as cafe/restaurants.

Terrace Houses: 161-181 Cecil Street, South Melbourne. Melbourne, Victoria
These terraced houses are part of the Emerald Hill Estate, an entire block that was formerly occupied by the Melbourne Protestant Orphan Asylum between 1855 until 1877 and since 1974, has been government buildings and public housing. This particular row is one of South Melbourne’s longest and most intact. It is dominant on Cecil Street with its tall parapet which effectively hides the row of mixed gable and hipped roofs.
