Land Details

  1. Old Title 1961 showing Doris Jones was the property owner.
  2. 1895 MMBW map
  3. Compiled Crown Record Plan showing the house straddles across two titles originally purchased by Mr. J. A. Hay on lot 10 and Mr. McKendrick’s lot 9 on section 52 in West Melbourne.

Building Details

From a general observation of 95 and 97 Stanley Street, one can see they share a party wall between them and the parapet peaks in the middle which might indicate they were both constructed as a pair of homes by the same builder.
