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 house at 30 Brighton Street was erected for the Trustees of the Primitive Methodist Church in 1885-1886. By 1886 it was rated as a 10 room house with a value of ₤40. The first occupant was the Rev. Joseph Ross, followed by the Rev. Henry Wallace in 1888 and the Rev. F Clemens, a clergyman for the Free Methodists, in 1890.
Description:
The house at 30 Brighton Street, Richmond, is a two-storey single-fronted Italianate style house of rendered masonry construction. The facade has, at ground level, a front door and two double-hung sash windows, and at first floor, three double-hung sash windows. The ground floor openings all have semi-circular arched heads, with arched moulded architraves with keystones and bracketed sills. The first floor windows have moulded architraves and straight bracketed hood moulds and sills. There are string courses between the ground and first floor levels and beneath the parapet. The roof is concealed behind a balustraded parapet with a central, shallow, triangular pediment containing a label.
The front fence is not original.
Significance:
The house at 30 Brighton Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. It is a substantially intact example of a freestanding terrace house with relatively restrained Italianate ornamentation. It is an important heritage element on the west side of Brighton Street, which has been eroded by later development.
