Uxbridge House

Uxbridge House was built circa 1845 on Nicholson Street in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy, Australia.

[1][2] The site ownership changed hands several times, but the most prominent owner was William Bates who lived there from the 1860s until his death in 1891.

The site was a prime candidate for renewal, as Melbourne was also suffering from a lingering housing shortage.

[6] All that currently remains from Uxbridge House is the original Hanover Street Brick Wall, which runs along the northern boundary of the site and dates from the 1860s.

[7][6] Various articles in The Argus[citation needed] also show that the original address of Uxbridge House was 90 Nicholson Street, Fitzroy.
