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:
By 1883 the Bank of Australasia owned vacant land with a 33 foot (9.9 metre) frontage to the west side of Park Street between Victoria and Greenwood Streets. By 1884, James Phillips had erected a brick house on the land. Phillips retained ownership until at least 1891, when Frederick Jones, a gentleman, was tenant. By 1900, Mary Solomon had purchased the property, leasing it to Patrick Callinan, a clerk.
Description:
The house, at 1 Park Street, Abbotsford, is a double-storey single-fronted freestanding Italianate style brick house. The walls are of brown face brick with a bluestone plinth. The ground floor facade has a four-panelled front door with side- and highlights, and a tripartite window, whilst the first floor has two windows. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes. The front verandah and balcony have cast iron lacework friezes, and the balcony has lacework balustrading. The verandah and balcony are flanked by projecting brick walls decorated with rendered consoles. The hipped corrugated iron roof has paired eaves brackets and a central brick chimney with a rendered moulded cap. The verandah retains its original iron picket fence.
Significance:
The house at 1 Park Street, Abbotsford, is of local architectural significance. It is a substantially intact example of a typically ornamented double-storey Italianate terrace-style house, which makes a positive heritage contribution to a varied streetscape.
