Victorian Ornamental Autumn - Northcote

            Autumn in Melbourne is always beautiful, with many wonderful deciduous trees aflame like this ornamental pear in front of a fine single storey single fronted Victorian terrace.  Both are things Melbourne is known for.

Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn display of leaves at present are simply glorious.

Built between the 1880s and the 1890s, this terraced cottage is one of three in the row along St George's Road in Northcote.  They are not as grand as some of the houses up on Rucker's Hill nearby, but there is a comfortable and elegant charm about it.  Built for middle-class familes, rather than an upper-middle class ones, the cottages are narrow and long, and are not set as far back from the street as some of the Edwardian villas nearby.  Nonetheless, the middle-class owners of this cottage were able to afford the respectability of brick, and polychomatic bricks at that!  The cottage has two corniced chimneys and a front window featuring narrow side panes of etched glass as well as a front verandah to corrugated iron with ornate cast iron lacework.
