Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The terrace, designed by Leonard J. Flannagan and constructed by 1913, at 5-9 Brougham Street, Richmond is significant. This is an Edwardian terrace row of three houses. It has a transverse gable tiled roof and each house is gable-fronted and has parapeted walls that follow the pitch of the roof. The upper facade is rendered and each house has a pair of boxed multi-pane windows set below the shingled gable end, which projects slightly on small brackets and are set between corbels. At the ground floor level each house has a projecting brick window bay beside a tiled skillion verandah set between tall square-profile brick wing walls with upper sections that project slightly forward. The window bays have three tall casement windows with highlights beneath a concrete lintel. There are two rendered chimneys.
Non-original alterations and additions to the houses are not significant.
How is it significant?
The terrace at 5-9 Brougham Street, Richmond is of local architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Yarra.
Why is it significant?
It is significant as an intact example of a terrace row, which is a type of housing that was popular from the late nineteenth until the early twentieth century in Melbourne. It is of note as a late example of this type that demonstrates the evolution in terrace house design by the early 1900s at a time when flats were beginning to replace the terrace house as the most popular form of medium density housing. Of note is the front elevation without the traditional double height verandah, presumably a response to the criticism about the lack of light in traditional terrace houses. (Criterion D)
It is also significant as an Edwardian era terrace with Arts & Crafts detailing. It is distinguished by the simplicity of the detailing, which imparts a modern appearance when compared to other housing of this era. The high degree of intactness contributes to its significance. (Criterion E)
