Statement of Significance
The house, front fence and rear outbuilding, constructed c.1895, at 117 Hoddle Street and 2A Egan Street is significant. The house is a two-storey Italianate style residence, of rendered masonry construction. The west elevation facing Hoddle Street is asymmetrical and has a two storey polygonal bay with three segmental arched head windows at each level. To its south, at ground level, there is a door with side- and highlights, and at first floor level, a window. The roof, which is penetrated by two rendered chimneys with moulded caps, is concealed behind a balustraded parapet; much of the balustrading is missing. Below the parapet is a heavy moulded cornice. The front verandah and balcony have been removed. The side elevation facing Egan Street also has a two-storey polygonal bay with segmental arched head windows at each level. Windows are double-hung sashes with bluestone sills, with the exception of a window on the west elevation comprising three casements with highlights, probably added c 1900.
The original bluestone and iron picket front fence remains. To the rear of the property is a two storey red brick outbuilding.
