Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Keddington Flats, formerly a single residence built in 1911 for James Jenkins and later converted to flats, is of significance.
How is it significant?
Keddington Flats is of local aesthetic significance to the City of Banyule.
Why is it significant?
25 Rose Street represents a relatively uncommon building type in Ivanhoe. Although there are a number of examples of the Federation or Queen Anne Style, this form of two storey house is less common in Banyule. It also represents a change from single family homes to flats, indicating one aspect of housing development that sought to create more density in the largely low density suburb of Ivanhoe. Keddington Flats, formerly known as Keddington, is a representative example of the two-storey Queen Anne style. This style of building is not well represented in Banyule. Keddington provides a good example of adaptation of a large residence to flats with little impact on the exterior of the building. (Criteria B & D)

Keddington Flats - Physical Description 1
Keddington Flats is a large, asymmetrically planned two-storey red brick house with double-hung sash windows, rendered string courses at window sill and head levels and hipped and gabled corrugated iron roofs. The gable end facing the street is half-timbered, and the two-storey return verandah has turned timber posts with unusual carved brackets and simple timber balustrading and frieze. Door entryways and windows are narrow with rendered detailing above. The tall red brick chimney stacks have rendered moulded cappings.
Alterations to the building include the construction of external concrete stairs at front and rear providing access to the upper levels, and a glazed extension at ground floor level. The house is neglected but shows in its gable colour scheme the original finishes used. It represents an unusual building type in Heidelberg, being two storeyed and basically 19th century in form. Although altered by being converted to flats it has a high degree of integrity externally.
