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 1858 Hodgkinson map shows this site as vacant.
In 1864, Henry Miller owned three 3 room brick terrace houses here which were rented out. The properties had a long series of owners and tenants, with the longest ownership being that of William Smith who purchased the houses in 1880 and remained owner until at least 1895.
The relationship between the buildings described above and the present building is unclear, since the present building appears to accommodate two buildings only.
Description:
The brick building at 51-55 Oxford Street, Collingwood, is a single storey symmetrical bichromatic brick building with a gabled street facade. The east elevation, to Oxford Street, has two window openings; the entrances are via the side elevations. The walls are of red brick with a bluestone plinth, while the windows have cream brick quoining. There is also cream brick quoining at the building's corners, string courses and window head and sill level, and a small diaperwork panel in the gable-end. The gabled parapet has cream and red brick coping, and is decorated with unpainted rendered scrolls; urns (now missing) once decorated the corners. The roof is clad in corrugated iron and penetrated by a simple red brick chimney with a corbelled top.
Significance:The building at 51-55 Oxford Street is of local architectural significance. The building is unusually composed for a residential terrace, and displays a typical but effective use of bichromatic brickwork. The building forms a visual unit with the adjacent terraces at 57-63 Oxford Street; as a group they make an important contribution to an interesting streetscape.
