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:
By 1892 Randal Lambert, a librarian, owned land on the west side of Paterson Street between Valiant and Abbotsford Streets. In 1893 Lambert built a brick house there for his residence. Lambert continued as owner/occupant at least until 1900.
Description:
The house at 23 Paterson Street, Abbotsford, is an asymmetrical, single-storey bichromatic Italianate style villa, with a hipped slate roof. Its walls are of dark brown bricks with red brick quoining and window dressings. The projecting bay on the front elevation has a pair of segmental-arched double-hung sash windows, within a chamfered brick recess. The curved corrugated iron verandah has cast iron columns and lacework frieze. Beneath the verandah are two double-hung sash windows flanked by semi-circular arched niches. The hipped slate roof has bracketed eaves and is penetrated by two red and brown brick chimneys with rendered moulded caps.
Significance:
The house at 23 Paterson Street, Abbotsford, is of local architectural significance. It is an intact example of a 19th century Italianate style villa, particularly ornate for Abbotsford. Of note is the fine and exuberant use of bichromatic composition, and the unusually detailed recessed windows.
