| Last updated on - January 1, 2008 The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra. History: The 1858 Hodgkinson map shows this site as vacant. By 1864, William Randle, carter, owned a brick house on this site and he lived in a wooden house immediately to the south. The situation remained unchanged until 1877 when he built a second brick house, remaining as resident in the wooden house. By 1891, he owned three brick houses and a wooden house on the site. Identification of the two houses, now Nos. 50 and 52, is difficult, but it is possible that they are the pre-1864 and 1877 buildings noted. Description: The terrace at 50-52 Oxford Street, Collingwood, comprises two double-storey brick houses. The walls of No. 52 are of face red brick, whilst No. 50 is (now) rendered. Each has a door and single window at ground floor level, and a skillion profile corrugated iron verandah. There is a brick wing wall at the south end of the pair; the verandah of No. 52 is flanked by timber-framed wing walls. At first floor level, No. 50 has a single window, No. 50 a pair of windows. Windows are multi-paned timber-framed double-hung sashes with flat heads. The verandah to No. 52 has a very simple cast iron lacework frieze; No. 50 has no frieze. The transverse gabled roof is penetrated by a central party wall and terminates at gabled parapets at either end. The roof of No. 52 retains its original slates; No. 50 is clad in corrugated iron. The timber picket front fences are not original. Significance: The terrace at 50-52 Oxford Street, Collingwood, is of local historical and architectural significance. The pair-in particular No. 52- is appear to be a rare surviving brick terrace from the first phase of residential development of the Collingwood slope. Architecturally, the pair is a typical example of mid-Victorian attached houses, although the architectural significance of the pair has been diminished by the alterations to No. 50, including rendering and alterations to the verandah. No. 52, however, remains relatively intact. |
