Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The cottage at 33 Derby Street, Northcote, built for the pork butcher, Joseph Whitehead, in 1888. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The cottage at 33 Derby Street, Northcote is of local historic and aesthetic significance to Darebin City.
What is significant?
It is histoically significant as a rare example (Criterion B) of a surviving Victorian period house in the locale, comparing with two small groups of representative cottages in Andrew Street to the immediate west and Mitchell Street to the immediate north.
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as an exemplar of its type, the timber construction and symmetrical gable roofed form being characteristic of workers' accommodation of the period. The bichrome chimneys add aesthetic value. The triple gable roofed form, whilst not as common as the hipped roof and row house forms in the Municipality, is commonplace in country Victoria and no. 33 Derby Street has special value as a very fine example of this less common Victorian period house form in Darebin.
