I have been told on good authority that these added on bits on houses and buildings are called 'warts' in the US Walking around Beechworth looking at all the older cottages you see lots of 'warts' I guess a penthouse could also be classed as that.

I am not sure what Religion he would Christened as. We are spending a few days in Beechworth next week & are hoping to do a little research while there. What we are looking for is a Christening of a Francis Martell who was born 8 Jane 1859 at Sebastopol to Francis Martell & Anne Trimble nee Norton.
