Statement of Significance
The house at 326 Amess Street is of local historical and architectural significance.
Its architectural significance derives from its fine bichrome brickwork, unusual first floor balcony and verandah, and overall picturesque composition. The property's enclosure by later houses is unusual, and reflects the house's construction prior to the development of the adjacent inner circle railway parallel to Park Street.
Historically, it is significant as a now rare example of an early house that represents the first phase of development in this area prior to the construction of the outer circle railway.
