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 house at 336 Burnley Street, Richmond, was built in 1879. The first owner was Samuel Jenkinson, a druggist. The Rate Books for 1879 list Jenkinson as the owner and occupier of a 4 room wooden house, valued at ₤16. Jenkinson remained the occupier until at least 1900.
Description:
The house at 336 Burnley Street, Richmond, is single-storey double-fronted symmetrical timber Victorian cottage of the type which were typically mass-produced by timber merchants. The walls are clad in weatherboard; the transverse gabled roof in galvanised corrugated steel. It has a central four-panelled timber front door, flanked by single timber-framed double-hung sash windows with single vertical glazing bars. The skillion-roofed verandah is supported on square section timber posts, and has the remains of a simple timber frieze. A single corbelled brick chimney penetrates the ridgeline.
The wrought iron and woven wire gate appears to date from the inter-War period.
Significance:
The house at 336 Burnley Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. It is a relatively rare and intact survivor of a once-common type of double-fronted timber house dating from the 1870s, which remains on a reasonably large site. The house is typical of a relatively cheap housing type which typically accommodated the working class.
