History/Notes
The dwelling at 3 Stephen Street was built in 1912 for Herbert Jarman (1866-1953), butcher, to a design by the well-known architects, Laird and Buchan. Jarman also held a farm at Gheringhap. He married Miss Emma Walker (1867-1925) in 1896 and they relocated to 3 Stephen Street upon its completion. Herbert and Emma Jarman reported in the Geelong Advertiser as
being 'well known and highly respected residents of Stephen-street, Newtown', on the death of Mrs Jarman in 1925. Her death appears to have been the catalyst for Herbert Jarman to relocate elsewhere. He retained ownership until 1929.
The timber dwelling was oriented to face the private yard to the north of the site, the rear facade facing Stephen Street. The original design comprised a principal hipped roof form with projecting minor gabled wings at the front and east side, connected by a post-supported verandah. The original design is partially discernible, but the gabled wing at the front (north) has been extended, the front verandah altered and extended, and further alterations and additions have been carried out on the west side and at the rear in 2003 and 2009. A new garage was added to the Stephen Street boundary in 2008.
