Statement of Significance
What is significant?
A gambrel, slate-roofed, Edwardian timber house, with the entry on the diagonal axis. Gables project at front left and right side rear. The splayed corner has a gablet, with the verandah around the angle, under the main roof. There is terra-cotta cresting, ridge-capping, finials and chimney-pots. The front gable has Mediaevalising timbering and roughcast. The upper section jetties on fretwork brackets, over a rectangular segmental head casement bay, with leadlight highlights. The verandah has palisade valence over an arched bressumer on turned posts. There is a small segmental head verandah window, with an apron and notched weatherboards below dado. The entry has door, side and fanlights. The verandah floor has been replaced with concrete, it lacks two finials and one ridge capping has been replaced with iron. The air-unit is intrusive. The chain-link fence and gates are sympathetic.
How is it significant?
The house is aesthetically and historically significant (National Estate Register Criteria E1, A4) to the locality of Richmond and the City of Yarra.
Why is it significant?
The building is significant:
- for its good representation of a key period in the City's history; and
- as an ornately detailed Edwardian timber house with well composed timber decoration including gable strapping, verandah fretwork and posts and an uncommon entry set on a diagonal axis and generally Mediaevalising design characteristics.
