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:
The bluestone house at 72 Kent Street, Richmond, was built in 1865. Kent Street is first listed in the Rate Books in 1865, and that year, John Naylor is listed as the owner of an unfinished stone and brick house valued at £10. Naylor retained ownership of the house until 1869, when it passed to Edmund O'Malley.
Description:
The house at 72 Kent Street, Richmond, is a single storey bluestone house. The facade is symmetrical, and has a central door flanked by single timber windows. The gabled roof is clad in slate. It has a corrugated iron-clad verandah with turned timber posts and a decorative cast iron lacework frieze. The windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes.
The iron picket and bluestone fence appears to date from the 19th century, but it appears to have been originally erected on another site.
Significance:
The house at 72 Kent Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. It is a relatively intact example of a mid-Victorian bluestone cottage. (Allom Lovell, 1998)
