Hope Street - Physical Description 1
Address: 145-171, 188-250 Hope Street
19-23, 24-26 Larnoo Avenue
82-86 Melville Road
The Hope Street Precinct is predominantly residential, comprising a mix of Edwardian and inter-War detached houses, mostly of timber construction. The Edwardian houses are typically double-fronted, with false ashlar timber boarding, bullnose verandahs with cast iron decorative friezes, ornate timber barge boards, paired double-hung sash windows and corrugated iron hipped roofs; good examples include 21 Larnoo Crescent and Nos. 163 and 165 Hope Street. The inter-War houses are modest weatherboard bungalows with broad gables clad in corrugated iron, and with gabled front porches.
The houses generally display a fair level of intactness. Most of the original front fences on the Edwardian houses, probably timber pickets, have been replaced. Some original inter-War woven wire and timber fences survive.
Street plantings in Larnoo Crescent include Melaleuca; there is no street planting in Hope Street. Traditional street elements retained include bluestone gutters in Hope Street and bluestone crossings at its intersections with Burnell Street, Wallace Street and Ferry Crescent, and bluestone gutter and kerbs in Larnoo Crescent.Heritage Study and Grading
