Serendipitous (and off-track) find this morning in this book of excellent sketches of Melbourne mostly around 1880 - artist Louis Buvelot's house (mistitled). (The sketcher got the surname wrong and the catalogue followed.) In 1880 Buvelot was at 13 George Street, Fitzroy. Note in front says sketcher's dispute with #StateLibraryVIC led to the book eventually ending up in #StateLibraryNSW! (Buvelot owned several paintings by my research subject #S_T_Gill.)
