| History | Builder Samuel Craven was first listed in directories at No.15 Charles St in 1874 and it is assumed the present house dates from that time. In 1882 Craven took out a building permit for a cottage in Charles Street (giving his address of that date as 15 Charles Street) and is also listed as owner of the new cottage. As No. 17 Charles Street co-joins this residence, has its brickwork toothed into this residence and is listed in directories in 1883, it is assumed that this unusual little cottage dates from 1882. |

| Description/Notable Features | Notable features include unpainted brickwork. Two very unusual houses, built together but different design, stone trimming moulded brickwork. The two storey dwelling (No. 15) has a simply conceived facade enlivened by decorative window and door surrounds carved from freestone. Unusual stone console brackets support the gutter and eaves. The single storey dwelling ( No.17) is constructed of brick although without the stone dressings. It is situated in a tiny triangular site and is now probably one of the smallest brick dwellings in Melbourne having only 3 rooms. The triangular building form is capped by a single brick parapet, hiding the roof. |

| Statement of Significance | This pair of dwellings are significant small brick cottages located in an area of considerable architectural and historical significance. No. 17, constructed on a minute site is now perhaps one of the smallest brick dwellings in Melbourne while the stone dressings on No. 15 are an unusual detail. Both buildings are substantially intact, and their position is a key part of the interpretation of level development in Carlton. |
