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 19 Grosvenor Street was built for Samuel Cane prior to 1864. The Rate Books for 1864 show Samuel Cane as the owner and occupier of a wooden house valued at ₤17. Earlier Rate Books do not exist, and Grosvenor Street is not listed in the Directories in the 1860s.
Description:
The house at 19 Grosvenor Street, Abbotsford, is a symmetrical, single-storey, double fronted timber cottage. Its walls are clad in weatherboard. The facade comprises a central front door flanked by single timber-framed double-hung sash windows. The transverse gabled roof is clad in slate; one low, red brick chimney penetrates the ridgeline. The simple curved-profile verandah is clad in corrugated iron, and is supported on simple square-section timber posts, with simple timber balustrading. The main body of the house appears to be two rooms deep, with a skillion-roofed rear section.
Significance:
The house at 19 Grosvenor Street is of local historical and architectural significance. Believed to be the oldest extant building in Grosvenor Street, it is a rare surviving example of a modest timber worker's cottage of a type once common in this part of Abbotsford. Architecturally, the building is a typical and substantially intact example of a small cottage whose significance is increased by the retention of its original slate roof.
