History
Thomas Wright, the owner and builder of the house, was a contractor who built many houses in the East Melbourne area. He owned the land next door to the west on which he built a pair of houses as investments. He also owned the blocks behind facing Victoria Parade and on these too he built investment properties. In the centre of it all was his workshop on the site now known as 1 Contractors Lane.
The site is now occupied by a block of apartments.
