Original post 8 August 2019:
Great #Edwardian house on #AclandStreetStKilda, corner Jackson Street, renovation work finished, and I’ve got pics from when they started early last year – only change is restoring a bit of the verandah, and blocking off the side entry stair. They actually demolished and rebuilt the brick fence, which was leaning a lot. They’ve also added flats to the back – less said about that the better ! No facts about the house, but it must be 1900-1905, and possibly a boarding house straight away, and later converted to flats. 



But the rear extension- 😮 o boy, what a shocker !
Restrained red brick or at least red paint better ? What’s with the castellated bit ?? And the Spanish-ish pergola ? #AclandStreetStKilda, corner Jackson, near Fitzroy Street. At least they restored the front bit nicely. Interiors are awful.


Inside :



Criminal. What an absurd project – those sots of the interior are about as inviting as a cell in Guantanamo Bay, antiseptic garbage.
