Statement of Significance
What is significant?
This house was built soon after the release of the Cole's paddock estate in 1911, with occupiers being JD Campbell junior and later Louise Fowles (see Campbell senior at 8 Leslie St).
This Edwardian, black tuck-pointed, red brick house has an unusual symmetrical plan built in an era characterised by asymmetrical plans . It has a gambrel Marseilles terra-cotta tile roof across, with finials. Gable wings project forward at ends, with segmental head window pairs, with leaded highlights. Above is roughcast, with label-mould and triple rectangular ventilators. The entry is recessed between deeply curving walls. It is not symmetrical, with two sashes beside. It has a verandah under a hip projection of the main roof, supported on unusual bulging Tuscan concrete columns on plinths and paved with geometric encaustic tiles. Chimneys have flat, Voyseyan tops.
How is it significant?
The house is aesthetically and historically significant (National Estate Register Criteria E1, A4) to the locality of Richmond and the City of Yarra.
Why is it significant?
The building is significant:
- as a late Edwardian brick house, with an unusual symmetrical plan, distinctive curved walls at the entry and block-like tripartite gable vents;
- for its good representation of a key period in the City's history.
