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:
In 1887, Benjamin Slater was the owner of nine brick houses under construction on this site. Later, Walter Attenborough took possession and in 1892, they were owned by Edward Wight who retained ownership at least until 1898. Tenants in 1892 included two women (domestic duties), two labourers, a salesman and a musician.
Description:
The terrace at 160-176 Langridge Street, Collingwood, is a row of nine two-storey attached Victorian polychromatic brick houses. Walls are of brown face brick, tuck-pointed at ground level, with cream brick dressings to openings and wing walls and red and cream brick diaperwork below the windows. The ground floor of each dwelling has a front door and single window, whilst the first floor has a single window. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes. There are concave profile corrugated iron verandahs between brick wing walls with rendered copings; they have simple cast iron lacework friezes. The roofs are concealed behind a (generally unpainted) rendered parapet with a simple moulded cornice and central triangular pediment flanked by scrolls.
The intactness of the houses varies, especially at ground floor level. The ground floor facades of Nos. 170, 174, 176 and 178 have been painted, as has the parapet of No. 160. The first floor of No. 160 has an altered window opening and non-original window, and its brickwork appears to have bagged or painted.
No. 166 retains its original iron picket fence.
Significance:The terrace at 160-176 Langridge Street, Collingwood, is of local architectural significance. Architecturally, the terrace is a simple but typical example of polychromatic brickwork applied to an otherwise quite modest building. A remnant of the late 19th century residential development of Langridge Street, it is an important heritage element in a streetscape highly eroded by later industrial development.
