Description:
The house at 6 Baker Street, Richmond, is a single-storey asymmetrical Italianate bichromatic brick villa. Its walls are of brown brick, with cream brick quoins and dressings to window and door openings. The front elevation has a projecting bay with a single window; beneath the verandah is the front door and another single window. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes. The verandah, which terminates at a brick wing wall at the west end, has a curved profile corrugated iron-clad roof, cast iron columns and a decorative cast iron lacework frieze. The hipped slate roof has bracketed eaves and ogee-profile gutters, and is penetrated by bichromatic brick chimneys with unpainted rendered moulded caps and barrelled tops.
The front fence, which comprises a timber frame with corrugated iron infill panels, and the timber gate, appear to be original.
Significance:
The house at 6 Baker Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. It is an impressive example of an Italianate brick villa, distinguished by the degree of its intactness; of particular note in this regard are the verandah and timber and corrugated iron front fence.
