Brick Houses

Built in 1895 by the See Yup Society as housing for Chinese, this brick pair of residences are reminders of the many small houses that once existed in this area.

In the early 1900's, No. 18 was used as a store, but No. 16 has had a predominantly residential use.

Standing in Celestial Avenue, both are on the Victorian Heritage Register. All places on the Victorian Heritage Register and the Heritage Inventory are legally protected under the Heritage Act 1995.

Celestial Avenue is just one of the many fascinating laneways in Melbourne. What were once dingy, dark alleyways are now home to hip restaurants, funky art work and great eating.
