Statement of Significance
This building was constructed by Mr Kennedy for Michael Morgan in 1885. Although painting of the original dark brick facade has substantially altered the appearance of this terrace house, it is still imposing for its width, decorative cast iron, and double brick borders to the arched window and door openings. The semi-basement appearance is due to the fall of ground towards what used to be a creek, now covered in Ievers Reserve.
The cast iron balustrade is of a particularly fine and delicate pattern, and is complemented by the frieze iron to the ground and first floor balcony which is supported on brackets. The iron fence and gates are a recent and appropriate replacement. The other notable features are the large triangular dentillated nameplate with flanking scrolls, the three elaborate unpainted chimneys, the timber doorway with etched side and transom lights, and the encaustic tiles of the verandah.

General Exemptions:General exemptions apply to all places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR).

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. If applicable, these are listed below. Specific exemptions are tailored to the conservation and management needs of an individual registered place or object and set out works and activities that are exempt from the requirements of a permit.
