Can anyone provide more context to help understand this building? It is so small - that's why I took the side view. The verandah detailing is very simple. The roof has no pitch.

202 Clark St is for sale. Before it's tidied up - here it is. I always feel sad when I see these family homes once so loved and tended - now dishevelled - before they take on a new life. 

Clark St is notable for its plane trees - a pleasure for some, and a trial to others. Clark St was the edge of Port Melbourne's settlement west of the railway line till 1870.
