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 1858 Hodgkinson map shows this site as vacant. By 1868, B Mahon was the owner of vacant land here and in the following year, Edward Crisp, brewer from the Burton Brewery, Cambridge Street, had built a four roomed brick house on the site. By 1871, Edward Crisp and Son were the owners, and Samuel Crisp, law clerk, was in residence. Later, the building was tenanted and by 1877, ownership had passed to William Robson, a draper's assistant, who lived there. By 1884, ownership had passed to James Adamson, and by 1887/1891 to John Adamson.
Description:
The house at 37 Oxford Street, Collingwood, is a two storey single-fronted terrace-style house. It has walls of brown bricks with cream quoining and dressings to openings. The ground floor has a front door and single window; there are two single windows at first floor level. The concave profile corrugated iron single storey verandah has non-original timber posts and the frieze appears to be missing. The roof is concealed behind a cream brick parapet with a brick cornice.
The house has a small front garden with a non-original cyclone wire fence.
Significance:The house at 37 Oxford Street, Collingwood, is of local historical and architectural significance. Historically, it has associations with Edward Crisp, a local brewer. Architecturally, it is an early example of bichromatic brickwork, and an example of its use to create a simple, mid-Victorian Regency-style facade.
