Statement of Significance
72 Peel Street, Kew is of local historical and architectural significance as a handsome and finely detailed example of a double-fronted single storey timber residence of the Victorian period. The house varies from simpler and more modest houses of the period in its relatively elaborate verandah with central pediment-like feature, the use of flanking hipped projections in the main roof, and the window detailing. While visible, the rear additions do not dominate or overwhelm the retained front section of the house, which appears to be broadly intact.

Itzehoe - Physical Description 1
As originally constructed, Itzehoe, was a single-storey double-fronted Victorian timber villa with a symmetrical block-fronted facade and conventional weatherboards elsewhere.
The original roof comprises a corrugated galvanised steel hipped form with bracketed eaves, smaller hipped projections marking breakfront bays and a pair of rendered brick chimneys. The facade is screened by a full width cast iron verandah with bullnose corrugated galvanised steel roof which features a distinctive gablet with shingled timber infill above the main entrance. The tessellated tiled verandah floor is of recent origins. The central entrance contains a panelled timber door and non-original leaded surround which is flanked by a pair of projecting bays, each containing three timber-framed double-hung sash windows divided by moulded timber architraves fashioned in the style of Doric pilasters.
A substantial two-storey addition has been constructed (using sympathetic materials and a simple hipped roof form) to the rear of the house and this is visible above the rear roof slopes of the original building. A carport has been constructed adjoining the southern side of the house.
The front fence is a non-original timber picket fence and gates and the landscape has been renewed.
