Liverpool (Extant) 36 Princes Street
A grand Italianate towered house built by Nathaniel Levi in 1889, named after his birthplace Liverpool, England. He is probably best known as a member of Parliament, and the first Jew to be elected. On his death in 1908 his nephew John B Levi lived there until 1930. He was elected to St Kilda Council in 1922 and served as mayor in 1924-25. The architect was Nahum Barnet, who was also Jewish, and also lived in St Kilda, and the design is notable for its unusual shape, dictated by the triangular site, and its lack of ornamentation.
