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 316 Victoria Street, Richmond, was built in 1885. The owner was Thomas Byrne, a shopkeeper. The first occupier of the house was James Perry, a gentleman. The adjoining Byrne's Arcade Terrace (Nos. 318-326: see separate datasheet) had been listed in the Rate Books as a row of five 7 room brick houses also owned by Byrne since 1879. Byrne was shown as owning a 7 room wooden house adjacent to the terrace; in 1884, it is valued at ₤26. The following year, Byrne is shown as owning a 7 room brick house. In 1887, the house was valued at ₤90, but by 1892 its value had fallen to ₤60, by 1894 to ₤50, and by 1900, it was worth only ₤38. The house was occupied by Thomas Byrne himself from 1886 until at least 1900.
Description:
The house at 316 Victoria Street, Richmond, is a double-storey double-fronted asymmetrical rendered brick Italianate house attached to the west end of Byrne's Arcade Terrace (Nos. 318-330; see separate datasheet). It has deep, ornate cast iron lacework friezes to the verandah and balcony, which follow the line of the projecting bay to the west end. The balcony has a lacework balustrade and corrugated iron roof. The front door has a semi-circular arched highlight and the paired timber-framed double-hung sash windows have arched heads. There is a moulded string course at impost level. The building has a high, balustraded parapet with a prominent cornice.
The glazing in an arched opening in the wing wall at the west end of the balcony has been replaced with amber glass (c. 1970s).
The original iron picket front fence has been retained.
