Why is it significant?
The dwellings at nos 1-11 side of Dickens Street, Richmond, are of local historical significance. They are a substantially externally intact collection of six modest Federation brick cottages, which provide evidence of worker's housing constructed in Richmond in the early twentieth century. The dwellings are associated with Eleazer Lesser, who acquired and developed a number of properties in Richmond in this period, including other similar residential developments in Lord Street, Bell Street and Burnley Street. The dwellings are also of local aesthetic/architectural significance. While modest in size, they constitute a row of Federation brick cottages with distinguishing features including the varied gable placements, which successfully generate a basic symmetry in the grouped composition; and the shared transverse gable roof form given emphasis by the ridge capping and intact double chimney stacks. |
