Statement of Significance
What is significant?
This gabled and hipped roof Edwardian-era brick house was erected in the Cole's Paddock Estate soon after its release in 1911. James Campbell Snr. was the first main occupier of the house. This red brick and terra-cotta tiled house is set out on an L-shape plan with a splay at the junction that forms the entrance. A hipped verandah with a rare crown-shape parapet shelters the entry. A slatted timber frieze provides verandah detail.
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 house is significant because of:
- its distinctive crown verandah and uncommon plan;
- its representation of large house construction on the new Cole's paddock estate; and
- for its good representation of a key period in the City's history.
