Some homes have an address. Others have a story.
31 Kerferd Road, Albert Park forms part of the remarkable 27โ35 Kerferd Road terrace group, designed by architect Walter Scott Law and constructed between 1882 and 1892, during Melbourneโs Victorian boom.
A little of its history:
โข The terrace group was built over the decade from 1882โ1892
โข Designed by architect Walter Scott Law
โข 31 Kerferd Road forms part of the significant 27โ35 Kerferd Road terrace row
โข The group is recognised on the Victorian Heritage Register
โข Its character comes from the elaborate Victorian faรงades, verandahs, iron lacework and decorative detailing
โข Even the front gardens, pathways and fencing contribute to the heritage significance of the group
But the craftsmanship is what gets me.
I look at the old photographs and imagine the tradesmen standing on timber scaffolding, creating those details by hand.
No modern machinery. No laser levels. Just skill, patience and craftsmanship.
More than 130 years later, their work is still here.
Thatโs what I love about researching Melbourneโs old homes. You start with bricks, timber and an address, but very quickly you discover the people and craftsmanship behind them.
Weโre not just looking at Melbourneโs history. Weโre still living amongst it.
Best Wishes

And if you know an old Melbourne home with a story worth telling, message me the address. Iโd love to research it and create a video about its history.
