Statement of Significance
The townhouse at 73 Royal Parade was erected in 1873 for Samuel Amess, a noted building contractor and Mayor of Melbourne from 1869-70. It remained in the Amess family until the 1930's.
The two storey brick structure has a rendered facade with two storey cast iron verandah and a simple cornice and parapet. This is one of the oldest houses in Parkville and notable for its association with Samuel Amess. The simple composition and mouldings are indicative of its early date and contrast with the neighbouring boom style architecture which dominates the area. The ground floor verandah brackets which join to form graceful arches is particularly notable. It is an essential element of the Royal Parade and Parkville area and a typical example of a building type which is a distinctive feature of inner suburban Melbourne.
The cast iron palisade fence is compatible with the house.
