A most excellent example of #polychromebrick in Webb Street Fitzroy. Probably 1880s.
Update 2024: It was tiny! And rather heavily done over c1980, sandblasting the bricks and opening up the interior, judging from sale pics from 2012, and since then done again with a big rear extension. It’s part of a row of three similar, though the middle one is probably 1980s, I didn’t take a close up.
What looks like a double terrace on the right was actually built as a cordial factory in 1860 (B&W pic) then at some point the top floor and the entry arch were changed, though it stayed industrial until c1979, and since then it’s been two houses I think, with vaguely Victorian style interiors. Historic info and old pic from Fitzroy Research Melbourne blog.
