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:
Unknown. The house at 14 Abinger Street appears to have been constructed in the 1860s or '70s.
Description:
The house at 14 Abinger Street is a large double-storey red brick building, with a hipped slate roof. The house has a wide frontage and is set back from the street. The symmetrical street elevation has four double-hung sash windows at first floor level, with rendered sills and voussoirs. A moulded rendered string course runs across the elevation beneath the eaves. A relatively recent single-storey brick and weatherboard addition has been constructed in the front garden, obscuring the original ground floor elevation. Chimneys are red brick, with corbelled caps; the west chimney has been painted.
Significance:
The house at 14 Abinger Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. The house is a simple and restrained example of a late 19th century villa and is a prominent element in the streetscape. The appearance of the house is marred by the obtrusive ground floor extension.
