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:
A D Hodgson's Lucerne Estate was created from Will's Lucerne Farm, purchased at Government auction in 1840. Hodgson sold allotments from the estate from 1885, but it was not until much later that Thomas H Chenoweth, a grocer, purchased lots 28-29 of the Lucerne South No.2 Estate. He built the house at 65 Lucerne Crescent in 1901.
Description:
The house at 65 Lucerne Crescent is a detached single-storey Edwardian villa, constructed of red brick. Characteristic of the Queen Anne style, the house is asymmetrically planned with a hipped and gabled roof and tall red brick chimneys. The roof is slated with terracotta ridge crestings and finials. The house has a return verandah supported on turned timber posts with a timber fretted frieze. A gablet marks the corner of the verandah, above a polygonal bay window. The windows beneath the main gable facing the street are double-hung sashes, with bluestone sills. A brown brick string course runs across the building at sill level, and the upper walls beneath the eaves are roughcast rendered.
Significance:
The house at 65 Lucerne Crescent is of local architectural significance. The house is a representative example of the Federation style, retaining intact its slate roof with terracotta ridge crestings and timber verandah.
