STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Clovelly
24 Clark Street
Built on land originally sold by the Crown at auction to Richard Garton (c1822-1901), the local Clerk of Court for over three decades, (i) this house and garden are of local historic and architectural significance. Clovelly represents the classic vernacular bungalow and garden from the 1960s and reflects a period of prosperity in Hamilton following the wool boom during and after the Korean War.
The house is typical of the period for its form, setbacks, fenestration and use of materials. The style of the house is not remarkable but rather in the vernacular style and of high quality. The four part roof also covers a novel carport. It is significantly intact and is in excellent condition. The garden is laid out in the 1960s "shows" style typical of the period and uses full colour. Beds are planted with multi-coloured dahlias and include ornaments such as a kangaroo and a swan. Other features are the front fence of cream brick and wrought iron with two merino rams on the gate posts. The garden is notable for its surviving planting and features. It is significantly intact. Being located on a corner both the garden and house make a substantial contribution to the streetscape.
