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. Nos. 3-7, and the adjoining Derby House at No. 1, were under construction in 1876. Adamson retained ownership of the tour dwellings until 1885 or 1886. By 1887, John Tout acquired them, and they remained in his ownership, fully tenanted, until 1892.
Description:
The terrace at 3-7 Derby Street, Collingwood, is a row of three attached double storey rendered brick houses, attached to Derby House at No. 1. The ground floors each have three-bay arcaded loggias, with moulded heads and keystones. The first floors each comprise three single windows with rendered moulded architraves and bracketed sills. There is a dentillated moulded string course at first floor level, and the first floor has quoined panels dividing each dwelling's facade. The parapet has a moulded cornice. The windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes.
The original front fences have been retained.
Significance:
The houses at 3-7 Derby Street is of local architectural significance. It is an unusual and elegant example of an arcaded terrace, which forms a visual unit with the similarly-styled Derby House at No. 1. As a group, these buildings are an important heritage element in an area of Collingwood which has been substantially eroded by later development.
