Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Kilmarnock, the house built in 1908 for Rose and Robert Clark at 15 Murphy Street is significant. It is a single-storey single-fronted Edwardian timber cottage with a longitudinal gabled roof.

The facade has an entrance door with side- and highlights, and a rectangular projecting bay with tripartite casement windows. The bullnose verandah, clad in corrugated iron, is supported on turned timber posts, and sits beneath a decorative timber frieze. The gable end has a roughcast finish, with a relief Architecturally Nouveau design of foliage surrounding a central oval tablet bearing the name KILMARNOCK. The gabled roof, of corrugated iron, has slightly projecting eaves, lined with tongue and groove boards. There is a red brick chimney with a roughcast cap and terracotta chimney pot.
How is it significant?
Kilmarnock, 15 Murphy Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance to the City of Yarra.
Kilmarnock is architecturally significant as representative example of an Edwardian timber cottage, which is notable for its fine detailing. Whilst the planning and composition of this single-fronted timber house is not unusual, the incorporation of such decorative timberwork and rendered motifs is unusual for such a modest building and is unusual in Richmond.
