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 Hodgkinson Map shows that by 1858, there was development on this site, which appears to be unrelated to the present structure. In 1874, Henry Adamson, plasterer, owned land here and occupied a brick house listed in the Rate Books as 'off Derby Street. No. 1, and the adjoining terrace at Nos. 3-7, were under construction in 1876. Adamson retained ownership of the four dwellings until 1885 or 1886. By 1887, John Tout acquired them, and they remained in his ownership, fully tenanted, until 1892.
Description:
Derby House, 1 Derby Street, Collingwood, is a two storey double-fronted asymmetrical rendered brick house, attached to the terrace at Nos. 3-7. The ground floor has a three-bay arcaded loggia, with moulded heads and keystones, at the eastern end, and a single window on the street alignment to its right. The first floor comprises four single windows with rendered moulded dressings and bracketed sills. There is a dentillated moulded string course at first floor level, and the first floor has quoining. The parapet has a moulded cornice. The windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes.
Significance:The house at 1 Derby Street is of local architectural significance. It is an unusual example of a double-fronted, arcaded terrace-style house, which forms a visual unit with the similarly-styled terrace at Nos. 3-7. As a group these buildings are an important heritage element in an area of Collingwood which has been substantially eroded by later development.
