Statement of Significance
The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.
History:
Warwick Terrace and Leicester Terrace were built in 1892-93. Wellington Street south of Blanche Street was originally known as Wellington Place. The Rate Books of 1893 show 4 room brick houses at 13-27 and 18-32 Wellington Place, all valued at ₤22 each. The first owner was Mr Dakin, a contractor, of Richmond. In 1907, renumbering occurred, with Wellington Street extended from Blanche Street to Parkins Lane. Warwick Terrace, on the east side, was renumbered Nos. 79-93, and Leicester Terrace, on the west, Nos. 80-94.
Description:
Warwick Terrace and Leicester Terrace, 79-93 and 80-94 Wellington Street, Richmond, comprise two identical rows of single-storey rendered brick terrace houses, on opposite sides of the street. Each terrace comprises nine residences.
The facade of each dwelling has a door and single timber-framed double-hung sash window. There is a curved-profile roofed corrugated iron verandah with decorative cast iron lacework frieze, between brick wing walls decorated with vermiculated corbels. The roofs are concealed behind simple parapets with moulded cornices and low, rectangular pediments. Chimneys are rendered, with moulded caps.
The front fences are not original.
Significance:
Warwick Terrace and Leicester Terrace, 79-93 and 80-94 Wellington Street, Richmond, are of local historical significance. Although typical of many such 19th century speculative developments of modest terrace housing in Richmond, this example remains substantially intact, and is notable for its extent, comprising eighteen houses in two rows facing one another.
