Statement of Significance
106 Clarke Street is a well-preserved house of a type which was typical of Northcote owing to the minimum 33 feet frontage set by the council, in contrast to the high densities dictated by narrow frontages of other city municipalities. The house also has an unusual timber and iron verandah detailing and a notable screen door.

106 Clarke Street - Physical Description 1
Henry Durston's double-fronted house is typical of houses built in Northcote during the period 1890 to 1905. It is of timber construction with a hipped corrugated iron roof and has a convex-roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber columns with cast iron capitals, and has cast-iron brackets and friezes. A distinctive feature is the timber gable set into the centre of the verandah, with its fretted rising-sun pattern. The street elevation is of block fronted timber boards.
The original fence has been replaced in c1920, but this is the only major alteration to the house. Remnants of the original colours are visible
