Statement of Significance
Park House, a two storey attic residence was constructed in 1856, with further additions in 1857, for John Carmichael.
The distinctly Georgian style, axially planned, rendered brick structure, was erected without adornment save for the characteristic six pane window sashes, pronounced quoins, diagonal fan-lights and hair-pin pattern iron fence later integrated into a two storey iron balcony verandah addition.
Park House, one of the oldest surviving houses in South Melbourne and of architectural importance as a comparatively rare example of the simple, Georgian style house in Victoria, is closely related to and derivative of the colonial architectural traditions of New South Wales and Tasmania. No significant historical associations have been established. Park House is little altered externally since erection and is in virtually intact condition.
