Statement of Significance
The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.
History:
The Rate Books and Directories first list occupancy of this site in 1912, when it was occupied by Thomas Younger, a horse dealer. Although the stables appear to date from the 19th century, it is first listed in the Rate Books of 1917-18. Thomas Younger is listed as a contractor; the building is valued at ₤26. Younger was still the owner in 1929-30; he retained ownership until 1935, when it passed to Alfred Mason. The building was listed as stabling until at least the 1950s.
Description:
The stables building at 2 Greenwood Street, Abbotsford, is a two storey red brick building with a bluestone plinth. The building has a transverse gabled corrugated iron roof, parapeted at either end, with a central gablet with an opening to a former loft. The pulley beam over the loft opening remains, as do a number of timber doors.
Significance:
The former stables building at 2 Greenwood Street, Abbotsford, is of local historical significance and architectural interest. The building is a rare surviving example of a relatively large stables building in Abbotsford, and one of only a few remaining such buildings in the municipality.
