Built on land originally part of the Cathedral Reserve. Two acres at the western end of Hotham Street were granted to the Anglican Church on which to build a cathedral which, however, was eventually built in the city. Morris was able to lease the land from the diocese. While he remained Registrar the Diocesan Registry operated from his house. From 1891 the house was rented from the diocese as the vicarage of Holy Trinity Church until a new vicarage was built on the corner of Clarendon and George Streets in 1904. In later years it was sold and turned into flats. Considerable alteration was made to the building. Recently the house has been re-constructed as a private dwelling. The majority of the existing house is newly built with only the north west section part of the original house.
