ItemTerrace house 174 - 182 Nicholson St, Fitzroy, Victoria( 1968)The aim of this thesis is to first capture the life and history of a block of Terrace House 174 - 182 Nicholson St, Fitzroy, Victoria, so as to form part of the record for future historians dealing with Terrace-Houses in Victoria. In relation to documenting the history of this block of Terrace-Houses, I have made it possible with the help of the Titles Office, Lands Department, Rates Office in Fitzroy Town Hall and the Melbourne Directory. My second intention is to discuss its significance physically in relation to its planning and style.

ItemAn historical survey: undertakers and cemeteries in the Carlton area( 1967-09)Research for this thesis was made particularly difficult by the almost complete lack of authenticated information. Early Melbourne directories, themselves either incomplete or challengeable did give some indication to the names and number of early funeral directors - or undertakers, as they were known then. Facts, or statements as close to fact as possible, have had to be cross-referenced through a series of tape-recorded interviews. To add to research difficulty, a surprisingly large number of Funeral Directors refused to speak in any way, either historically or specifically, about their trade. Even those Directors who would speak freely admitted that all old records have been destroyed; particularly Sleight’s and J.D. Lewis, two of the oldest establishments close to Carlton. It has been found that few Undertakers had their headquarters (only branches) in Carlton, and in an attempt to gain their history in depth, Undertakers in the suburbs approximate to Carlton have been studied.

ItemHistory from 1830-1900 of the area of land bounded by Moor, Napier, St. David and Young streets in the city of Fitzroy( 1968)The area of land bounded by Moor, Napier, St. David, Young Streets, was chosen, as the topic of this essay, because it is typical of the Fitzroy area. Thus through the study of this small area of land, one can get a general insight into the architectural history of the Fitzroy area. A second reason for its study, is that this area has been purchased by the Housing Commission of Victoria, and by industry and is to be demolished.
