Statement of Significance
What is significant?
10 Morrison Place, designed by an unknown architect around 1873, is a two-storey rendered brick house. The main facade is divided into four bays, three being equal, the fourth being larger and containing a carriageway. The carriageway was formed in 1883 when the original single storey was added. The parapet with a simple segmental arch pediment hides the roofline. A two-storey cast-iron verandah with a corrugated iron roof completes the facade. The house retains little intactness of a nineteenth century interior.
How is it significant?
10 Morrison Place is of architectural significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
10 Morrison Place is architecturally significant as an unusual type of the town house in Melbourne. The carriageway is unusual for the area and reflects the social aspirations of the owner in the affluent 1880s. 10 Morrison Place East Melbourne is significant as an integral component of the historic Brunswick Street South precinct, and contributes to the diversity of buildings within the intact Victorian streetscape of Morrison Place.

TERRACE - History
Contextual History:
East Melbourne was a popular address in the nineteenth century for politicians, public servants, merchants and business and professional men, mainly because of its proximity to the city. The Eye and Ear Hospital was established at its present site in the early 1870s. The East Melbourne precinct by the late 1870s was well represented by the medical profession. Medical clairvoyants and herbalists tended to congregate in the terrace houses in Morrison Place while qualified doctors chose the grander houses of Victoria Parade.
History of Place:
The building at 10 Morrison Place was constructed in 1873 by builder Ralph Besant for F.Wood. The architect is unknown. In 1883 an additional storey was added, and Wood rented the premises to tenants from 1889. From 1900 the building was a boarding house, and was occupied by a herbalist from 1905. The building is now part of the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
