Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The terrace at 146 Victoria Parade is one of a pair of houses that James Simeon Raphael erected for himself to the design of architect Alfred Kursteiner in 1880-81. 146 Victoria Parade is a three storey building constructed of brick with rendered facades and a two storey cast iron verandah. The third storey emphasises its corner position. The verandah is divided into three bays by very slender cast iron columns. Decorative cast iron spandrel panels form arches on both storeys of the verandah and there is a cast iron balustrade on the second storey. Decorative urns sit on top of the verandah party walls. The semi-circular window openings on the main facade are plain except for the top storey openings which have bracketed sills and moulded hoods with keystone decoration. There are blind windows on the return wall to Morrison Place. The deep cornice is bracketed and decorated with cement garlands. A plain parapet completes the composition.

TERRACE - History
Contextual History:
Alfred F Kursteiner, architect, is presumed to be of German extraction but little is known of his origins. He practised in Melbourne from 1853-1893, alone or in various partnerships with German-born C H O Bagge, Spencer, or J E Austin. He worked from a variety of addresses in the Collins Street vicinity. Kursteiner undertook a wide variety of work, including residences, schoolhouses and shops. He was invited to join the Victorian Institute of Architects in 1856.TERRACE - Permit Exemptions

If the subdivision or consolidation is in accordance with a planning permit granted under Part 4 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and the application for the planning permit was referred to the Executive Director of Heritage Victoria as a determining referral authority, a permit is not required.Specific exemptions may also apply to your registered place or object.
