Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, constructed c.1889, at 30 Corsair Street, Richmond is significant. This a single fronted late Victorian timber cottage, which is designed and detailed to imitate a parapeted masonry cottage. This is achieved though the use of ashlar boards to the facade and the detailing to the timber parapet, which includes a cornice with paired modillions set between corbels, moulded panels above the cornice and a triangular pediment. There is a rendered chimney.
Non-original alterations and additions to the house including the verandah and front window are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 30 Corsair Street, Richmond is of local architectural significance to the City of Yarra.
Why is it significant?
It is significant as a representative example of the timber houses of the late Victorian and Federation eras that were detailed to imitate masonry dwellings, which in this case includes a timber parapet with typical Italianate style details such as the cornice, eaves brackets, corbels, mouldings and triangular pediment. While Victorian era houses are common within Richmond, surviving examples of a timber house with a timber parapet are very rare. (Criteria B & D)
