85 Cunningham Street Northcote, looking east

A digital image of 85 Cunningham Street Northcote, a Victorian double-fronted bluestone house built in the early 1870s. 'Mayville' is perhaps the second surviving house to be built within the township of Northcote. It has a concave-roofed verandah with timber posts, capitals, brackets and frieze. The verandah floor is of large slate flags. The stonework is coursed and tuck-pointed blocks with openings trimmed with red brick quoins which are also tuck-pointed. The two chimney shafts are of cream and red brickwork with moulded cappings. Internally the plasterwork is plain, with some ceiling roses; however, the marble mantles, in the front rooms are substantial.
