In 1965-67 Boyd was the Visiting Professor ofArchitecture at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, U.S.AI 2

. He was the designer of theAustralian displays at World Expo Montreal (1967)

and Osaka (1970). In 1969 Boyd was awarded theGold Medal of the Australian Institute ofArchitecture and thS following year becamepresident of the RAIA1

Robyn Boyd married Dorothea Madder in 1941 andhad three children one of which, Penleigh, is anarchitect. He died in 197116

DescriptionThe plans for the new painted brick-veneer housewere as simple as the house itself, ruled lines onblueprint. Hugging the only available groundoutside of the 30' easement and the creek channel,the plan was necessarily long and thin withsplit-level dining/living flanked by a serverykitchen and compact bathroom, as the centre of thefirst section to be built. Sensibly for sun orientation,bedroom was at the south end and, on the north,was a verandah. As with the Mcintyre Orion Stneethouse, the floor was to be partly brick paving overconcrete and most of the exposed ceiling straw-likeSolomit, both contributing to the show of naturalmaterials in the dedicatedly no- nonsensearchitecture. Adding to these natural materials wasthe display of polished copper which hovered as ahood over the fireplace.The next addition (1951) placed another bedroomon the south end and at the north, replacing theverandah, was a study/living area and masterbedroom connected via a glazed entrance hall. Thispresumably separated adults from children.In 1958 Boyd applied to build a simple carport nearthe front boundary.The periodical Smudges described the house twoyears after completion as their House of the Year:

Areas of the small house flow into each other. Differingactivities are separated but only rarely by a solidpartition. The resultant space is dynamic, itsarchitectonic qualities limited by the designer's will. Soit is with the house. Areas merge, sometimes easily,sometimes dramatically. The effect is heightened byvariation of colour, rexture (internal lining is, in part,Oregon, vertically)...

The description also notes cork tiles over theconcrete sla~ in the living room (formerly confinedto kitchens) , exposed face brick in some sectionsand the unusual sloping east window wall whichextended out nearly to the gutter line. Anotherarticle compared the plan as roughly the same as arailway train and showed pictures of thesuspended plywood ceiling beneath the gej't1ygabled Malthoid and white-gravel clad roofline .In 1975 a two storey wing was added to the southend but has little effect on the original house.The landscape to the east (on the easement) ismature and supportive of if not related to thehouse concept.

Although in the Lombardic Byzantine style. it givesevidence of much original thought. with very pleasingresults, and brings something new in design andplanningfor a building ofthe monastic type.

Much interest has been shown in the brickwork, allexternal face bricks being finished with deep sunkenjoints. giving the impression of shadow. The mouldedbrickwork carried by the stone columns. with theirvaried capitals. is as striking as it is beautiful. TheGlen Iris Brick Co. supplied all bricksfor the building.

SignificanceArchitecturally, the combination of brick and theByzantine form is unmatched anywhere else in thestate for any building type of the same scale. Thecloister arcade, dome and glowing terra-cotta workprovide a strong sense of Italy which in tumcoincides with the increasing Italian influence onthe Catholic Church's in this country': of regionalimportance.Historically, of interest for its link with theDominican Order and for the modeminterpretation of monastic style and form in thedesign.

History

Contemporary reports cited the ColonialInvestment & Agency Company as the first ownersof this 'handsome and commodious residence'when completed in 18911 Charles Hetheringtonand George Cornell were the secretary andmanager, respectiv~y, of this Queen Streetinvestment company . Historian, Michael Cannonwrote of the Colonial Investment Company ashaving been formed by Prahran councillor,Matthew Davies and been active in landspeculation. That company was criticized by aliquidator after the 1890s crash as ' ...helping to ruinand bringing mi:rery to hundreds of persons andmany families..:- . the architects were Reed Smart& Tappin, then of Elizabeth Street, Melbourne andthe builder, W. Fly of Annandale (NSW)4The next owner appears to have been AngleseaHighett, a solicitor, who purchased the one acreallotment 3 of, what was termed in 1891 as the'second Toorak', by 1895 S. The rate books of1900-1 describe the dwelling as brick and of elevenrooms on one acre6 Anglesea Higgett by this timegives his occupation as gentleman. By 1905 JohnMichael Higgins, a metallurfst, had become theowner-occupier of Holyrood. Holyrood becameSI. Dominic's Priory under the ownership of theRoman Catholic Church by 19259.

Sir John Michael Higgins was born in 1862 andwas educated at Bendigo High School and theBendigo School of Mines. He was a metallurgistby profession, and on his retirement from activeprofessional work he became a pastoralist, He wasthe metallurgical adviser to the Commonwealthduring World War 1 and Chairman of, andGovernment nominee, on the CommonwealthCentral Wool Committee. He was awarded aKnight of the Cross of SI. Michael and St. George in1918 for his honorary services in Australia duringthe War, especially in his administration of thescheme for the purchase of Australian wool by theImperial Government, and for his efforts infounding the Australian Metals Exchange duringthe War. Higgins was chairman of the BritishAustralian Wool Realization Association Limited1921-26, Liquidator 1926-32 and local director ofthe Bank of New Zeala~d.

DescriptionOne contemporary description told of the mainrooms of the house, morning, dining and drawingrooms, and a 'splendid' hall with heavy ceilingbeams, kauri and red pine paneling both on theceiling and the dado. This was besides the manyservice rooms at ground level. The stairs wereclaimed a totally new concept in Victorian houseplanning because of the unusual layout which hadthe stair penetrating a wall, after a few rises, anddisappearing between the walls to ascend to thenext levelH Upstairs there were six bedrooms,dressing room and servants' bedrooms. Stables,coach house, man's room etc. were at the rear.The building's style was termed 'English domestic'carried out in red bricks with stone and black bricktrim. The roof was of terra-cotta French patterntiles and the gables half-timbered12

The house presents a picturesque Queen Annestyle two-storey brick villa with intersecting gabledroof forms and a distinctive observation tower overthe entrance hall. Queen Anne cement detailing isin the form of the pediment over the entry, whilethe cited 'English domestic' Tudor era is reflectedin the half- timbering and two-level casementwindow bays in the front wing. Chimneys areribbed: the whole taking on the look of Shaw,Webb and N~sfield's English houses of the mid19th century' ' or as reinterpreted by Americanarchitects. The shingled tower and general formresembles the work of Oakden Addison & Kemp(Woodlands, Essendon, 1888), Beverley Ussher(Mellor house[q.v.], 150 Mont Albert Road,Canterbury, 1898-9) and Ussher & Kemp(Dalswraith, Kew, 1900).

St Dominic's Catholic Church,822 Riversdale Road, Camberwell

Study Grading: BPrecinct: 6.00Construction Date: 1936-59First Owner: Catholic Church

History(refer Siena Convent, and St Dominic's Priory)The church had established at the Holyroodproperty around the time of the adjoiningHolyrood Estate (c1923-4). In 1926 celebration ofthe Feast of St Dominic (founder of the Order ofPreachers) was celebrated at a church on this sitel

.

The architect's design for the first stage of thischurch was pictured in an architectural journal andnoted as under construction early 1936. Thebuilders were Lod e Brothers, the architect W P


Conolly and the clients, the Order of theDominican Fathers1 The perspective showed aconservative, traditionally decorated GothicRevival design, executed in stone, which couldwell have been erected in the 1860s (d. LonsdaleStreet Wesley Church, 1857). The church buildingpreceded extensive works in the parish during1939".The next stage was in the 1950s when the architectT G Payne redesigned the church front intoanything but a conservative mode, reachingcompletion c195g3.

Description

Initially conceived as a conservative Gothic revivalstone church, the church as it is today is far fromconservative because of Payne's application ofstylized stone ornament to the added tower andentry. Typical of Payne's work which often appearsinspired by German Baroque detailing (see StThomas Aquinas, South Yarra), the bell tower takeson an almost surreal appearance with the traceryrearing beyond its window frame and rising abovethe parapet. Around the entry there is the sameintricate but stylized carving, using bas-reliefmotifs similar to those used by the sculptor HansKnorr in many Catholic churches. Anotherexample of this approach is Griffin's NewmanCollege which has similarly abstracted pinnaclesover its dome.


Payne's work at the South Yarra church and themonastery church at Box Hill also Griffin'sNewman College (detailing oniy). Churches of the19505 had already turned away from tradition suchthat this work cannot be seen in comparison withthem but rather an empathetic if inspired additionwhich has created its won persona withoutobliterating the first concept.

External Integrity

Generally original, given the two main periods.

Visible from far afield, the church relates to theSiena complex opposite, in building type, andparallels some of the adjacent housing in its 1930construction. It is however unrelated visually theresidential precincts surrounding it.

SignificanceHistorically, the church was initially carried in theold tradition of Gothic revival using basalt, moretypical of the great church-building boom between1870 and 1890. It is one of the last such Gothicchurches to be constructed in the archdiocese ofMelbourne. Its links with the Dominican order alsomake it distinctive among Melbourne's parishchurches: of Regional interest.Architecturally, the church can be seen from manyparts of the city and as such is a Camberwelllandmark. The architectural approach to thesecond stage totally belies the conservatism of thefirst, providing an unusual adaptation oftraditional' Gothic ornament and creating anoutstanding architectural work, both in its formand detailing: of Regional importance.

lodges began in other parts of the municipality,each meeting at either one of the two halls. Roomsat the shire hall were leased prior to the halls'construction.'

DescriptionLike the Theosophical Society Building, CollinsStreet (1936), this hall is designed in an Egyptianrevival mode (d. Temple of Horus, Edfu) whichadapts the ancient pylon form to serve as overallfacade, window surround and entrance porch. Asimilar device is used on the side elevations and toframe the groundlevel windows. Egyptianinspiration is commonly seen inside masoniclodges but less commonly outside.The hall is suitably elevated atop a grand stairwaywhich flares downwards between curved walls tostreet level. Two ancient forms of the scarab,symbol of Khopri the sun and life itself, bestowgood fortune on those who enter whilst theirjewel-like surfaces contrasts with the new stucco ofthe front wing walls. Similarly, the papyrus corniceis painted a rich blueOther notable examples of nee-Egyptian stylismare Godfrey & Spowers' former Bank of NSW,Bourke Street, and their bank design in City Road,South Melbourne.

Comparative ExamplesThe hall is unusual stylistically with the only otherovert Egyptian revival designs being the Bank ofNew South Wales branches in Melbourne andSouth Melbourne, also the Theosophical SocietyBuilding, Collins Street. The Greek revival of theera was often used on masonic halls and has someslight visual connection with this building.

External IntegrityThe temple is generally original; the steps havebeen reclad; the front wing has been restructured(refer rear wings, ochre coloured smooth stucco).

Flats,7 Rochester Road

HistoryMary Bond of Canterbury was the nominatedowner of a 20 square, two- storey dwelling built byD W Bond: the estimated cost was £20002. TheMelbourne Directory for 1929 first lists the propertyas 'flats being built' and it was not unrl1984 that itwas converted into a single dwelling. The designhas been attributed to Eric Nicholls.The progressive styling and innovative use (flats)point to the pioneering role of the building. Flatshad been built in Camberwell in the 1920s but notuntil after this building was completed did the flatbecome a more common element of Camberwelldesign. It is important as an innovatory buildinguse as well as interesting for its stylistic originality.

DescriptionCement rendered and symmetrical, these flats takeon the geometric severity of ~ Prairie. SchO?Idesign. Aztec in form and detail, the building sbold horizontal forms and VOids arecounterpointed by vertical fins or piers,


symmetrically arranged on both the streetelevation and chimney shaft.Some comparison may be made with Wright'sMillard residence, Pasadena (1923), and the Booth(1911), and Gale residences, Illinois (1904-9). Thisexample lacks the eclectic detailing but shares theinterlocking rectanguloid forms, as did also thecontemporary European Modern movement, butwithout the decorative 'unfunctional' use ofmassing. Chevron pattern glazing is shared withother Griffin school designs; the terrace balustradealso comprising a chevron but in three dimensions.The stuccoed fence has been stepped with theincline, both vertically and laterally, whilst gateposts have flared Aztec- like, plinths. A similarlyunusual divided front garden is enclosed betweenthe house and boundary.

and Hawthorn municipalities! and was typical ofthe master builders who operated in the middlesuburbs early this century, following the Arts &Crafts tradition that designers must also build theirwork.The distinctive crescent form of the FairholmeEstate was created by the architects, engineers andsurveyors, Bruford & Braim (Braim lived inHawthorn) and lodged at the titles office in 1901 bysolicitors, Davies & Campbe1l2.

The significance of the estate lies with the visualand stylistic homogeneity of its architecture, thedistinctive crescent road form, the consequenthouse siting and the general high integrity of thecomponent buildings. Given the size and 'comer'siting of this house, it is crucial to the integrity ofthe area, as the first house seen and the mostprominent in the estate (visible from three sides)once within the crescent. Architecturally, it may betypical of the era when judged in isolation but, inthe precinct, it has a pivotal role.

DescriptionBuilt in red brick, the house addresses its comersite with multiple room bays extending out in fourdirections. Typically for both the domestic QueenAnne style and Federation Bungalow (this house),these bays are set against the backdrop of a highhipped 'tea-house' main roof, two of the bayshaving gabled roof forms (north-east, south-east)and one hipped (north). Linking the three is aconcave-roof verandah set on timber turned postswith an arcaded timber frieze at the fascia. Bracketsinspired by Indian sources are used at each post.Gable trussing, also inspired by Far Easternsources, provides a bold pattern across thebrickwork beneath and a scalloped frieze followsthe main roof eaves-line around the house. Otherdetails are the typical terra-cotta ridge cappings tothe slate roof and tall asymmetrically placed brickchimneys with rough-cast cornice panels. Timbercasement window sashes, with leaded top-lightsare used throughout.A fence typical of the era has been erected.

R M Guthridge, architect and surveyormay have been involved with the house'sconstruction, and 'G M Gutheridge' having actedas agent for Bice in 19073.Architect, Arthur Purnell worked on the house in1935 for a different owner",

~::a~~ners included the Rev. A. Stewart and W.

DescriptionQueen Anne styled but atypically, nearsymmetrically elevated, the house has the style'shalf-timbered gables, Marseilles tile roof cladding,face red brickwork, and turned timber verandahposts and frieze. A gabled donner sits wellbetween the two gabled room bays as does theverandah, continuing around the two extremecorners of the front elevation, and clear of the twobays. An outbuilding on the north possibly datesfrom the 19305 renovations, as does the fence. Theplanting is sympathetic.Unlike the typical Queen Anne villa which, as itenlarged, sought more attic rooms and towers, thishouse has remained largely single storey andpresents an unusually long elevation to the streetfor its style.

HistoryDaisy Ford of Richmond was the first owner of thishouse and architect, William Henry Ford, its firstoccupier in 19201 Presumably he was also thedesigner. They ~th resided at Sefton Place for atleast a generation. Under a subsequent owner, itbecame a boarding house in the 1950's. Little isknown of Ford's architectural practice.

DescriptionTransitional, in some aspects, between the QueenAnne and Bungalow forms, this house has both thebroad and sharp gables of the two styles, theMarseilles pattern tiles, the Oriental ridgeornament of the Queen Anne and its propensity forwindow bays with associated gablets. It has also abroad entry archway (associated with theBungalow form and its American Romanesqueforbearers) and the style's typical gable shingling.The coarse rough-cast stucco, to the brickwork, isparticularly notable.Sympathetic planting and a new picket fencesurrounds the house.

Study Grading: APrecinct: 26.04Streetscape: 1Construction Date: 1908First Owner: Bald, George RobertBuilder: Dixon, R A

HistoryGeorge R Bald commissioned builders R A Dixonto construct Baldene in 19081 It was to be of 11rooms and of brick and tile2 It remained the Bal?family house until conversion to flats in 1930's'.The design has been attributed to architects, Ussher& Kemp and possesses similarities to other housesby the firm in the area.George Robert Bald was the principal of amanufacturers agency whi'i,h he commenced inElizabeth Street around 1904 . His more renownedclients include Fairbanks Morse & Co (railwaymotors) of America also Hessberg Bros., makers ofChinese bristles of London, and the Bilt RiteManufacturing Co of Minn'!fpolis, and McCabewheat pickers from Adelaide. Twentieth centurybath heaters could be obtained through the agencyand they also sold Letts & Co's diaries6 Hiscommercial contacts indicate that his business wasmore successful and more innovative than those ofother Camberwell residents.His son, Robert Bald, was to become professor ofEnglish at Cornell University (USA) and write anumber pf books dealing with the history ofliterature .Born in 1901, Robert spent his childhood in thishouse prior to lectureships in English in WesternAustralia, Adelaide and the University ofStellenbosch, 5th. Africa. He joined the British


Information Services, New York (1941-2) andbecame a Fovle Fellow of the Shakespeare Institute, 1Stratford-on-Avon.

DescriptionQueen Anne villa in manner, this house possesses amultitude of gabled fonns; ranging from dormersnested in the archetypical hipped main roof, to themajor room bays which occupy strategic cornersand trim the verandah ends. Red brick walls andstucco string courses highlight the walls but theemphasis of the house lies in the roof, with itsMarseilles pattern terra-cotta tiles and shingling.Arcading in the window casements echoes that inthe verandah whilst slatting and half-timberingprovide further ornamental detail.Composed in an almost symmetrical manner andentered atypically straight from the front verandah,the main elevation nevertheless ignores the streetalignments. Suited to its corner site, the diagonalaxis of the house bisects the angle and gabled roofbays lead the eye around the corner. Canary Islandpalms and other evergreen shrubbery are avaluable setting for the house.

CamberwellConservation Stndy 1991

HistorySarah Purcell owned this house from itsconstruction in 1886-7, leasin~ it to a Mrs. SusanLewis for her 'Ladies School'. Another occupierduring this period was the Rev James Henry, aPresbyterian minister2

. Later occupiers includedHarry ~east, Stephen Merton, and JamesErrenson.Boroondara had a relatively high proportion ofPresbyterians during this period, and it is probablethat the school may have been aligned with thechurch. Farly plans of the house show a largeoutbuilding close by, at the rear, which may havebeen a school room. One unusual aspect is thechimney orientation.

DescriptionOrnament is sparingly applied to this hip-roofed,Italianate styled house, the eaves brackets andpaneled verandah iron being the main decoration.The walls are clad with beaded-edge weatherboards and the roof is of corrugated iron. Theverandah returns down two sides, sheltering theregressed entrance and providing a variation to themore typical central entry of this style. Althoughthe fence has been replaced, the present hedge is asympathetic alternative.

mature native landscape suggests the house'soriginal siting on a much larger plot.

SignificanceArchitecturally, the house is a large and wellpreserved example of its period and in a styleassociated with Edwardian Camberwell houses. Byits orientation and mature landscape setting it alsosuggests the previous unsubdivided nature of thecreekside environs: of regional interest.Historically, owned by the professional classesassociated with Camberwell but in a area remotefrom the Edwardian suburbs of Camberwell andhence of historical interest for its siting and locallyimportant as a milestone house in thesuburbanisation of the city.

House,12 Stodart Street

Study Grading: BPrecinct: 27.10Streetscape: 2Construction Date: 1928First Owner: Adair, William A

HistoryA permit was granted to build this house in 19281

The cost was estimated at £1800 and the firstowner- occupier was William A Adair whoremained there until at least 19452 Later residentsincluded Jacob Lerner and W Carter3.

DescriptionA high, shingle-clad hipped roof provides themajor part of this elevation, together with a lesserbut similar pyramidal roof over the entrance porch.The consequent oriental character of the house isfurthered by the flaring of each hip as it reaches theeaves and the symmetry of the narrow stuccoedwall elevation beneath it. Diamond pattern glazingand horizontal window groups suit the vertical

Study Grading; AConstruction Date: 1952First Owner: Castle, M CArchitect: Mclntrye, R P

HistoryMervyn Charles Castle, an inspector, purchasedLot 291 from Walter I. Jackson of Malvern to builda residence on. In 1952 Jackson made a buildingapplication for a concrete block dwelling of sixrooms with an attic that was estimated to cost£4,0001 The residence was designed by architectR. Peter McIntyre of Carlton2. Mervyn Castle builtthe house himself over g'any years and stilloccupies the property today .Robert Peter Mclntyre, the architect, designed anumber of experimental structures during the19505 which included the co- design of theOlympic Pool and houses such as the nearbyStargazer House. His practice broadened into townplanning, with the 1973 City of Melbourne StrategyPlan (with Planning Interface) and privatedevelopments such as Diner Plain. He received theOrder of Australia in 1982, was Federal President

of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects(1973-5), and won the 1974 James Barratt Memorialmedal for his contribution to planning4 He hasbeen appointed head of the Melbourne UniversityArchitecture faculty after being associated with theschool since the 1%Os.

DescriptionAnother unusual Mclntyre design, in this casewedge-shape, which evidently had somedifficulties with building regulations. His othertension structures (Olympic Pool, McIntyre houseand Buelah Hospital) post-dated this examplewhich sat on a simple rectangular plan withupstairs rooms shifted 2700mm laterally and bothfloors pivoting about a central stair. Downstairskitchen, bathroom, connecting laundry and diningroom are typical enough but the large living room,facing north, extended up into the level aboveachieving a partly two-storey space. A workroomwas at the east endSOn the top level two bedrooms, gazing up into thesouthern sky, were on either side of a linkingbathroom. One cross-section showed the masterbedroom as an open mezzanine looking over theliving area, also allowing a lounger at ground levelto sit gazing at the starry sky. This sky view arosefrom the client's dislike of the red roofs whichstretched away on either side, the sky was better.Facing south, the windows needed no sun control.The childrens' bedroom was divided by fittingswhich, as they !'ir'w older, would be reorganizedfor' entertaining' .The floor was concrete (clad with asphalt tiles), theframe timber and the cladding, upper roof andwall, asbestos cement and lower wall concreteblock, exposed as an inside wall surface. Thecantilever was in part supported by cables runningfrom the north roof frame which also served as abase for intended slatting.

Study Grading: CPrecinct: 1.00 Streetscape: 2Construction Date: 1941First Owner: Johns, MarkArchitect: Nelson.S, & M.s.Builder: Ritter, L.W.

HistoryMark B. Johns, an engineer, commissioned Malvernarchitects,S. & M'S, Nelson, to design a residenceto be built on Lot 941 In 1941 L.W. Ritter built thetwo storied, brick dwelling of 10 rooms estimatedto cost £27852

. Mark Johns resided here withMargaret Johns, Roy W. Johns, an engineer, andGladys C. Johns in 19453 In the same year Roy W.Johns became the owner- occupier of 48 TheBoulevard4

. By 1950 Mrs. M.L. Johns was therecorded owner-occupier of 46 The Boulevard andby 1952 Brian L. Grant had purchased theproperty'',

DescriptionTwo-storey, stuccoed and Moderne in style, thehouse is divided unequally about a stair-hall'vertical feature' which has a finned parapet,slit-form windows and port-holes in the side wall.Asymmetry extends to the steel-framed windowopenings which change from paired slits tomedium sized slots and large picture windows,some shaded by cement hoods, others not. The roofis hipped and tiled, far from the flat roofs tried bymore adventurous architects and designers. Agarage was set under an elegantly balustraded(wrought-iron) terrace leading down to a deeplycut drive out through a 'crazy-paved' frontfence/wall. Planting is of the period.


The construction drawings show lounge, dining,connecting kitchen, maids room (!), den, laundryand sub room (facing north) on the ground floor,and above, there were four bedrooms, an open sundeck and a bathroom. The construction wasload-bearing with typical timber flooring andpartitions.

The Old English style was often closely associatedwith Camberwell building and in part reflects thestrong local interest in Australia's Britishconnections, (elsewhere evident in Empire DayCelebrations, Camberwell's lavish celebration ofQueen Elizabeth II's Coronation and visit andextending back to the suburb's enthusiasticsupport for campaigns during the Boer War andthe visits of inter-War Royalty.This house is one of the principal examples of thisstyle of dwelling in Camberwell, where mostestates built up after 1925 included at least oneexample of the style.Historically, typical of the manager/professionalhousing associated with the suburb: of regionalinterest.

HistoryR W Ede Clendinnen, of Glen Iris, commissionedbuilder, William Munro, to erect what wasdescribed as two maisonettes, at an estimated costof £2200 in 19361 The Clendinnen familycontinued to 0scupy one of the maisonettes until atleast the 1980's .

DescriptionThe long-term single ownership accounts for thehigh integrity of these maisonettes. Designed inthe nee-Tudor vein, they possess the typical'half-timbering', multi-paned windows, clinkerbrickwork and tiled, steeply hipped and gabledroofing.The fence and mature exotic setting particularly thePrivet and Cypress are of the period. They aredistinguished by both their relatively high integrityand the fragmented massing, induced by the dualoccupancy, which furthers the style's picturesqueemphasis.

History

Dr. Alan Murray commissioned AI. Edmond toconstruct a two- storeyed dwelling for him on Lot 3in Toorak Road l The brick house of eleven roomswas estimated to cost £2,5002 Dr. Murra:r ownedand occupied the property until after 1974.

DescriptionSited on the comer, its arcaded entrance porchwisely faces the side street rather than busy ToorakRoad. With its two-storey stuccoed hipped-roofform, horizontally grouped windows and shingledoriel, the house suggests the influences of some ofG.F.A Voysey's work, (Studio Cottage, Londonand Perrycroft, Herefordshire), or some of HardyWilson's Georgian revival designs (Cottage,Warrawee, 1919, or the Reid house, NorthParramatta, 1922). However, the single-storeyarcaded porch introduces a more modish metaphorwhich takes in the Italian and Spanish provincialrevivals popular in America and here during the19205.The fence (brick and stucco) is artfully combinedwith a clipped hedge and other landscape is of thehouse period. Similarly styled houses may be seenin the Reid Estate (q.v.) but not as prominentlysited.

History

Described as a professor of both music and singing,Gordon Gooch, added this 10 room brick house toa double block in Trafalgar Road during 18891

Mrs. Annie Lawrence occupied it for a brief periodin 1899 prior to its acquisition from Gooch, early inthis century, by Ernest Pearce2

. He resold to A MCorry prior to 1922; the Corry fa':'Jily having sinceowned the house for a long period .Gordon Gooch was one of the doyens of thesuburb's sophisticates. Schools and voluntarysocieties called on him to direct evenings of musicand dance. He directed musical performances inHawthorn, Kew and Camberwell and wasregularly cited in local newspapers as a key figurein creating a local cultural life.

Description

Two storied, of unpainted stucco and Italianate instyle, the house has an upper level verandah and isheavily adorned with cast-iron. A lookout atop theslated and hipped roof is similarly appointed withan ornate cast-iron balustrade, as is an impliedbalconette at the upper window of the extendedwindow bay. The propensity for ornament alsoextends to the stucco, particularly the chimneycornices and paneled shafts. Another atypicalelement is the window bay built into the verandahat ground level which, when extended to first floorlevel, creates a bay in the verandah balustrade.

DescriptionA notable design in the English Medieval domesticrevival mode, this attic form house is of red brick,with rough-cast stucco and half-timbering in thegables and slates on the roof.Window hoods are supported on timber brackets,as are verandahs on tumed timber posts (partmodified). Multi-casement windows form bays tothe main wings. Part of the original round-toppicket fence survives on the south side boundary,but a 'new' iron fence has been erected on thefrontage. The mature landscape is related to thehouse period.

Comparative ExamplesResembling the Queen Anne and FederationBungalow Edwardian house styles, this designpossesses more of the Tudor than English QueenAnne revival detailing and, with its dormers andsharply gabled roofs, contrasts with thelow-hipped form of the Bungalow.The following Camberwell sites may be comparedwith this site.35, PROSPECTHIll ROAD. 1881630, RIVERSDALE ROAD, 18822..

The shop was owned by the Smith family until atleast the early 1980's; being leased to tenants suchas Margare~Mcl.ellan,a draper, and N Benjamin, apastry cook .

DescriptionOf red brick (now painted), plain and rough-eaststucco, this shop is characterized by its cementedcolumn ornamentation, using plant motifs, and thescalloped profiles at the balustrade and parapet.An egg and dart frieze between verandah columnsis also unusual in its application, as is the scrolledand tiled parapet, loosely following the EnglishQueen Anne in detail. Otherwise it perpetuates theestablished shop and residence form; achieving itsperiod expression by adaptation of thecontemporary neo-Romanesque ornamentationand arched wall profiles. The shop fronts aregenerally original and pine boarding to ceilingssurvives, some unpainted. Pressed copper panelsto timber mantels continue the Arts and Craftsaspects of the external theme.

House,32 Ursa Street, Balwyn North

Study Grading: CConstruction Date: 1951First Owner: Davis, K.B.Architect: Long, HarcourtBuilder: Davis, K.B.

HistoryKeith Benjamin Davis built a house at this address,to the design of Harcourt Long in 19511 The brick,five roomed house was estimated to cost £3,209and induded a dark room in the plans.Alterations and additions were made to theresidence in 19563 Keith, a salesman, and JeanLynette Davis resided here until aftgr 19624

. In1974 B.R. Evans occupied the property .

DescriptionAn early Modernistic house which unlike othercontemporary architecture by those such asMcIntyre & Boyd, sought complexity of textureand form rather than the strict functionalismdemanded by post-war purists. A triangularchimney shaft of random stone, brick walling withbrick patterns, vertical boarded panels and anirregular floor plan guaranteed that the elevationswere far from predictable.

Gooloowan,7 Victoria Avenue

National Trust of Australia (Class/Rec.): RecordedNTA File Number: 1507Study Grading: BConstruction Date: 1890First Owner: Kelsford, S L J

History

Merchant, S J Welsford, owned and occupied theadjoining house to the south prior to erectingGooloowan in 18911 Annie Green's subsequentowner-occupation of the 11 room brick house, from1891-2, suggests that Welsford either built thehouse speculatively or specifically for Green2

Annie Green remained there until well into thiscentury a ¥iss Lucy Green occupying the house inthe 1930's'. Little is known about this Greenfamily.S J Welsford was a general merchant and importerof British, Continental and American merchandise.His offices were as varied in location as SwanstonStreet and London Alley, Melbourne to GreatTower Street, in London.

DescriptionDerived from the Italian Renaissance provincialvilla, this house with its stuccoed ornament,asymmetrical plan and hipped roofs, is typical ofmany large late 19th century houses, particularly inCamberwell, Hawthorn and Kew. However, thesuperposed arcading to the verandah, with itscast-iron columns, is unusual within this group(see 89 Union Road, 19 Mangarra Road, 10Trafalgar Road as the typical and 3 FermanaghRoad as the atypical). Iron columns and enrichedarches above, combine with ornate cement detailelsewhere to contribute a rich decorative effect tothe house both two and three dimensionally, giventhe massing provided by the verandah, the

asymmetrical plan form and the two-storiedwindow bay. The pierced pendant valence at theeaves is also notable because of its survival.A Moreton Bay Fig at 5 Victoria Avenue appears tohave once been part of number seven's garden andpractically still is, given the set-back of theassociated house. Otherwise the mature exoticnature of the immediate garden is supportive.

Tarawara,13 Victoria Avenue

Study Grading: BConstruction Date: 1890First Owner: Oldfield, Hudson

History

Hudson Oldfield leased out this eight room brickhouse from its construction date, in 1890, until itwas acquired by James Paterson, who wasvariously described as a 'lamp maker' GamesPaterson) or wine merchant (lulius JamesPatersonj'. Rate records also list Paterson, as anestate agent when he wa~ listed as the first occupierafter the house was built . It is likely Patterson wasOldfield's agent and subsequently obtained the

freehol? to resell almost immediately to George ARowell. Rowell leased the house to HenryJenkins, an assayer. and Robert Hooke, anauctioneer, early this century4.

Little definite is known of Paterson: as winemerchant (julius James Paterson) he may relate toPaterson & Co., produce merchant ofWarrnarnbool, or as an estate agent, Patterson &Sons, of Collins Street or Paterson Laing & Bruceor, as a lamp maker, the renowned Paterson Bros.,art decorators (see the Villa Alba, Kew).Oldfield is similarly unknown but George ARowell was a Ballarat share broker late last centuryand resided here early this century. His son John,who would have attended the National GallerySchool in this period, was to become a prominentartist and art teacher.

DescriptionSet amongst a line of large houses, this two storeyred brick house draws on some of the roots of thelater Queen Anne villa style, with is picturesqueFrench Chateau form and multiple trussed roofgables. Exemplifying the French Chateau style andborrowing from the Romanesque period are thebold voussoirs and tripartite Venetian windowgroupings. Comparison might be made with thelater but similarly French inspired house, St.Hilda's, in Clarendon Street (1907), EastMelbourne.Innate in this stylistic categorization is the use ofmassing rather than ornament to achieve a visualeffect, which contrasts with the numerouscomparatively static Italianate Victorian Periodmansions, such as 7 Victoria Avenue (q.v.). The lateVictorian verandah is here supplanted by anextended porch with lattice frieze and slightlyincongruous iron composite order posts. Thewindow glass follows the Arts and Crafts patternsmore common in this century and adds to thegenerally innovative nature of the house, given itsconstruction date. A mature exotic gardenprovides a sympathetic setting.

Surrey College, now a house,12 Vincent Street, Surrey Hills

Study Grading: BConstruction Date: 1893cFirst Owner: Darling, Rev. Frederick

HistoryThe Rev. Frederick Darling commissioned thisdiminutive (4.6 squares) four-room face-brick andiron-roof school (and residence) in the early 1890s,enlarging it (now 6 rooms) for his own residence in1902 and, later, rented it to persons such as AlfredJeffrey, ~n engineer, and Joseph Poynton, a rubberworker. Built on Lot 15A, he kept Lot 16 vacant,presumably serving as a playground3

Prior to its construction, Darling had run SurreyCollege in the street, as early as 1892.4 His father,John, had also been a Presbyterian minister, havingfounded what became St. Stephen's church,Sydney, and his arrival in South Melbourne

presumably started Frederick towards ordination.However, by 1892, he had started as principal forSurrey College, resigning his charge of the Box Hilland Surrey Hills churches, but continuing toconduct services at Canterbury in an honorarycapacity. Darling later became the seventhdirector of the Presbyterian Church in New SouthWales1

DescriptionDesigned as a pointed-arch brick school house,presumably with attached living rooms, thebuilding is aptly finished and formed for itspurpose. A slate roof and coloured and shapedbrickwork used around the pointed openings andas impost-bands around the building, provide acontrast to the domestic norm of the era, makingthe building unmistakably a school or similar use.The oculus in the gable end also has the sameimage.The alterations of 1902 probably created the timberverandah, with its ric-rac frieze, and possibly thegable trussing and window casements.The building has few parallels as a minuteprivately built school from an era when both largepublic and private schools were readily available.

External IntegrityAn attic dormer, new fence and new verandahfloor are additions, with minor alteration of theverandah.

StreetscapeDistinguishable as an early public building in astreet which had 2nly five of a potential twenty orso houses in 1909.

SignificanceArchitecturally, an unusual example of a commonbuilding type made so by a distinctive architecturaltreatment which uses traditional motifs but in anunusual residential location and scale: of regionalimportance.Historically, one of the area's early publicbuildings and the home of a clergyman whoreached national prominence: of regionalimportance.

They designedmany other houses in the grea, one being 35Balwyn Road designed in 1932 .This house was pictured in The Argus as anexample of the 'modern European style ofarchitecture'. Noting that many Melbournearchitects had difficulties with the inherent flat roofform of the style because of local weatherconditions and the practicalities involved withkeeping the water out, the writer noted that theKings had solved the problem by substantiallyhiding the 'incongruous' lines of the ordinaryhipped roof by use of a curving parapet along halfone side and all of another". The upper terracebalcony also curved in a similar way, forming asheltering hood over the entry. The brick wallswere to be finished in a grey sand-finish render

Historic Buildings Register RegisteredNational Trust of Australia (ClassjRec.):ClassifiedNTA File Number: 2281Study Grading: AConstruction Date: 1923First Owner: Jefferies, Elizabeth JArchitect: Griffin, Walter Burley

HistoryRated as land in 1922-3, the site included a cementhouse of five rooms in 1923-4, owned by Elizabeth[efferies.' The rated occupier was Julian Jefferies,an analyst. Directories listed 'Julian S. Jefferies' asoccupier into the 1930s, adding ,assayer' in the1940-50s2 By th~ I%Os, his wife Mrs. R. Jefferieshad replaced him...In the I%Os, Julian's son, Roger, noted thatbuttressing, along with tie-rods through thebuilding, had been applied to the building around1936 to prevent collapse. In the same period, herecalled that a skylight was added outside the

bathroom and the lounge fireplace altered4. TheHerald quoted Roger Jefferies who described thehouse as a 'nuisance' because of its poor condition.He was apparently discontented with the NationalTrust classi!ication which deterred him fromdemolishing.Typically square in plan and roofed with apyramid form, the house is one of two knownexamples designed by Griffin and built with bothKnitlock roof tiles and wall construction (see alsothe Salter house, Toorak, 1923). Griffin describedhis own system thus:

It is based on machines for cheap manufacture, andlightness and compacmess for minimizing transport andon standard units assembled without hand .fJtting,cutting, bedding or plastering for speedy erection.

Architectural historian, Donald Johnson, notes thehouse as being slightly larger than Griffin'sKnitlock prototype, Pholiota, but otherwi~ typicalof Griffin's small domestic work in plan. It hadan open porch entry, living area (with a small,carefully planned' kitchen off) and threebedrooms, two having fireplaces. What wasclaimed by The Age as the original Griffin drawing,dated 1924, shows two bedrooms (no fireplaces)and one 'reception' room with a fireplace.However, given that wall buttressing is shown orthis drawing it is unlikely to be the original.Another article, in 1985, described the walls as oftwo layers with bitumen poured between to aidinsulation. The woodwork was green-stained, thecedar ceilings pyramid in form andsome surviving light fittings in an inverted prismform, said to have ~n designed by Griffin tohighlight the roofline,Johnson judged this house as the 'most complete'Griffin interior, with Griffin's pin hinges andslatted timber doors -'a praiseworthy design:lO

DescriptionAs Pholiota (the mushroom), this small concretehouse shows its concrete construction moduleclearly on the outside walls, with full-height ribs,formed by specially shaped blocks, occurring everythree blocks laterally.

It is generally original and retains most ofits period setting: of regional interest.Historically, built for the artistically prominentZelman family and hence of metropolitansignificance. For Camberwell it is one of the fewhouses built for an artist or a music teacher andmay demonstrate a particular approach to housedesigns. As a custom-designed house, it cancomprehensively reflect the personal tastes andwork routines of a popular artist in the inter-warperiod: of regional importance.

• A Mrs. L. Baillieu occupied the residencein 1910 when it was purchased by JohnJohnson Smart, an architect'', Smart was theowner-occupier of Warranbine until his death after1916 when the Executors for John J. Smart werelisted as owners in the rate books and Amy Smartas the occupier". The property was leased toWilliam J.P, Howe, a civil servant, in the late 19205and Miss G.M. Roberts in the 1930s7 During thistime the land almost doubled in size, from 170x3ooin 1915 to 341x454 in 1920, and in rates~ from £70 in1915 to £150 in 1920 and £200 in 1925. Mrs. CoraHalkyard purchased the property in the early 19305but continued to lease it until, in the late 1930s, sheresided there with A.]S. Halkyard9 Ivo K.

The garden is particularlyimpressive with individually notable maturespecies from the turn of the century, and the fenceempathetic to the period.Surrounded by lush and mature exotic trees andshrubs and sited at the comer of Wattle ValleyRoad and Hampton Grove, the house has a slatedroof, painted brickwork and verandah ornamentedwith stout timber bracketing and turned posts.The gables are half- timbered in a T?dor mannerwith an intricate timbering pattern, WIth expressedbolts at the joints, and the roof has terra-cottaridging. The house has been extended a~dalteredat the rear with a possibly older gabled wing-on thesouth side.Addressing two frontages with gabled bays, themain frontage is demarcated With twin gables anda third central gablet set into the verandah. Thecoupling of posts around the verandah,ww.1e a.ndcarved timber framing members commu~cating

Curved cubes align with sharprectangles in a strong horizontal expression whichstops at, and gives emphasis to, the entrance porchand the vertical glass brick strips adjacent. Giantparapet lettering and a stylish (later?) clockcombine with the wall encased lawns and wellspaced exotic trees, as accessories typical ofDudek's work and the period.Few comparable industrial buildings exist of thissize and integrity in Victoria, particularly of thisarchitectural quality.

House,136 Whitehorse Road

Study Grading: BConstruction Date: 1938First Owner: Oates, Frank CArchitect: Lines, A KBuilder: Smart, A E


History

Architects, A K Lines, designed this six roomtwo-storey house, in 1938, for Frank C Oates, amanager" His builder was A. E. Smart, theestimat~d cost was £1823 and the area over 21squares. On completion, the Oates family movedhere from 35 Walsh Street, Balwyrr',

DescriptionComposed after the Modern manner, the designuses stuccoed masonry to achieve the geometricmassing made so desirable by the Europeanstylists. Combined parapeted and hipped roofs setat different levels, imply the careful assembly ofbuilding blocks to achieve a balanced threedimensional composition from varied shapes.Modernist flat roofs were not used here but the hip(also used in contemporary revival styles) at leasthad the flat roof's horizontal eaves line, withoutthe risk of leakage to the owner and less cost.Decorative touches include portholes.Corner windows were also modem devices; hereused in fact or by implication, where a contrastingface-brick panel continues the window line aroundthe corner. Metal frames were used withoutquestion to meet the style's demand for maximumwindow transparency.The fence appears original and the landscapingsupportive of the period.

House,166Whitehorse Road

Study Grading: CConstruction Date: 1951-2First Owner: Le Leu, Frank N timber merchant

History

Frank Le Leu, a manager, acted as both builder andowner in the construction of this house in 1951-21

The estimated cost was £4300 encompassing a 6ro0t¥ brick house with an additional 3 rooms in th.l'attic. Later owners included JGross and K Reid·'.Le Leu was a Camberwell City Counciilor 1935-48.

The L., Leu brothers were influential builders ininter-war Camberwell, particularly in their role asflat-builders. While on Council, Frank Le Leufielded resident complaints about the increasingnumber of flats in Camberwell and his buildingsreflect the changes in flat regulations imposed onlocal builders. This house was completed after thekey period in their local building careers, so it maynot be as significant as earlier work by the firm oras interesting as their original office.

Description

The house belies the architectural innovation of itsperiod and the scarcity of homes built at that time.Adapting a Tudor revival form, or moreparticularly its American equivalent, the houseexpresses its period by the lack of eclectic detailand instead, uses naturally finished materials(stained boarding, terra-cotta shingles and facebrickwork) to imply the rustic nature of the revival.Viewed from the street, the succession of gables,both minor and major, promotes a simplepicturesque theme which it shares with theprevious English born nee-Tudor and Queen Annestyles, albeit with little in common with

Pontefract, House,199 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn

Study Grading: BConstruction Date: 1892First Owner: Hordern, Lebbens

History

Lebbens Hordern, an auctioneer, had thisoriginally Tl-room brick house built in 1892 amonznine suburban lots which totaled 82 acres'. By 1895it was described as a brick house on part of the'Cotham Estate', occupying the same lots 2

Hordern was listed as resident in Whitehorse Road,Balwyn in the Victorian directory of 1892-3, thehouse name being Pontefracr'.The Hordern family (Louisa 0 Hordern) continuedas the owner- occupier at least until the 1930s4, thefirst room count for t~e house being in 1899 whenIt stood at 11 rooms and the hous~ populationbeing cited as seven, fifteen years later.Improvements may have been carrifd out in 1934by local builders, F W Le Leu, possibly ifpreparation for its conversion to Chaddesley flats.The MMBW plan for that year shows extensivenew plumbing, replacing the old closets, basinsand baths but also adding new ones to whatappears to have been a new north wing (stuccoed),built in a similar style.

Description

Two-storey, face-brick with textured stucco andclad with Marseilles pattern roofing tiles, this largeverandahed and gabled house takes on the Tudordetailing associated with the British rural house'Queen Anne' style. This same approach was to beused extensively for the numerous suburban

External IntegrityGenerally original as far as the external main bulkof the house although most of the extensivegrounds and exotic outbuildings have beendemolished and built-over in an unrelated manner.Internal alterations have been made, defacingmany/ some of the tiled bathrooms: otheralterations are assumed.

Streetscape ContributionOne of a group of large houses in grounds in thisarea, once on the urban fringe with rural views,now recognizable as from this era by its scale anddetail.

SignificanceArchitecturally, (internal inspection needed) alarge house in the manner popularized byHollvwood cinema as the homes of the stars in the1920~, with large entertaining spaces, magnificentsemi-rural setting and unequaled exoticallyornamented grounds (now gone), it is internallyand externally austere but did contain some highlynotable interior spaces (pool, bathrooms) alsoevocative of the first major wave of housing thearea: of Regional itnportance.Historically, significant owner and occupier, Gilpinwas an innovative entrepreneur and also took aninterest in the character of Camberwell, especiallyits parks and gardens. Although the house haslost much of its distinctive grounds, it is still animportant reminder of the lifestyle of Oliver Gilpinand his local interests: of Regional importance.

Siting.Another aspect of a site's importance is its siting andsetting. Corner siting gives prominence, a supporti::esetting ( a like streetscape) may reinforce site value or in

some rare cases a visually unlike-setting may give counterpoint. and therefore prominence but is more likely tobe retrograde to the site's value.Garden;and interiors. judged in the same broad categories as integrity and representation. will also potentiallylend further importance.

necessary. This also applies to cast or pressed cementornament.Secondarv ornament such as (in the commercial part of. ,the Study Area) on chimney cornices, is not consideredto be as important, given also the repetition of similarcornicedetails, within broad eras, relative to other morevariable ornament on the building, and their often visuallyrecessive placement. A counter-point to this may bewhere chimnev cornices and shafts are expressive of tbestyle, i.e. Que'en Anne domestic, or are atypically decorated and are prominent, i.e. arcaded chimney shafts orbracketed chimney cornices.

Representation of a Typology.Given integrity to its original design, if the site can be castinto a typological group, it is compared 'With other groupexamples and given a relative importance level 'Within thatgroup. Unusual or skillful variations to the typologynorm will elevate a site within the group. Note that witheach new study or research, more examples are beingidentified and thus a dynamic data base exists whichallows for downgrading -or upgrading of importance asmore data arises.If no typology exists (no like examples in numbers), thesite may achieve importance by its rarity i.e. the lastprefabricated iron house in North Melbourne.Typological groups and subgroups are identified from thefollowing combination of aspects:Scale: i.e. mansions, large house, house, COllage (forresidential use).Use: (where this differentiates its visual appearancefrom another use); i.e. bank, house, market, hotel, shop,facrorv,Style: .expressed by ornament. roof/parapet shape. planshape and materials. and qualified by construction dateand its relationship to the mainstream of the style.The commercial part of the Study Area has a limitednumber of typological groups, accounting in one way forits visual homozeneitv. These have been expressed, In

part. by the form-type diagrams and notation. The noncommercial sections, however, are often varied in typology (use, style and scale) from the amalgamations ofdifferent functions throughout a long development period without anyone forcing a dominance from economicnecessity.

AppendixSite Identification SystemThe following is a general discussion of some the abovecriteria and their application to site identification.

Individual Site Importance.

Following a visual survey of all sites in the study area andthe schedule of the physical characteristics, the initial siteimportance levels are allocated, on an architectural-history basis, relative to other similar sites in the State ofVictoria. Relative importance lis judged from experience of both other individual sites and site typologies.The sites have been compared and evaluated in the lightof other known sites and their place 'Within a group.Comparative visual aspects which have been accountedfor are as follows:

Integrity.

An over-riding aim in conservation studies is to secureparts of the man-made environment which illustrate faithfully eras, considered socially Or historically significant.This is not confined to anyone period, such as the Nineteenth Century. Hence. a site (or parts of a site) of highintegrity should reflect the era in which it was created;this period may be, in turn, evaluated as either significantor insignificant. Similarly the person responsible for thecreation may be considered important and extend this tothe site.The site ideally should represent the era in which it wascreated by its completeness and its accessories i.e. fences,garden, paving for a building. The relative prominenceof some parts of the site may make their integrity moreconspicuous by its absence where. given the commercialpart of the study area. the street elevation is the mostimportant because the other parts are concealed from thepublic's view. The main elements of such an elevationinclude the verandah and its ornaments, the wall surfaceand the fenestration pattern on it.One qualifying aspect of integrity is that some site typesor elements are more susceptible to alteration than othersi.e. timber buildings because of the ease of alteration.Thus, their high integrity may give a higher importancelevel to an equivalent stuccoed masonry site by virtue ofrarity.Similarly, late 19th century stucco is seldom seen in itsoriginal unpainted or colour-washed state and face brickwork of the 19th and 20th century is often subsequentlypainted. The latter is seen to be more damaging than theformer. particularly with polychrome brick. where thismaterial choice may have reflected a prevailing fashion(i.e. Italian Romanesque revival). Repainting of stuccocan recapture its original colours, where brickwork isoften damaged by paint removal and depends on theexposed, natural surface or colour of the brick.Integrity of ornament, such as cast-iron, also may bequalified by its partial or total absence. If sufficient ironexists to be matched or for moulds to be made for themissing parts, (brackets. finished or integral friezes.posts. cover strips). then a higher level importance isachieved than where conjectural restoration would be

on an A·£ scale. see Heritage t''alucs and the Field of Comparison

Camberwell Urban Conservation Study 1991Significant Sites

vidual site importance after the assessment of those per-sons connected with the construction of the site and itsoccupiers (institutions or individuals) in terms of theirrole in the State's history.Reference willbe made to biographical works such as theAustralian Dictionary of Biography, Victoria and Its Metropolis Cyclopedia of Victoria, Who's Who, La TrobeLibrary Biographical Index and the other evaluativeworks. Integrity to the era in which the important personor event was connected 'With the house is an importantqualification of Historical Importance.While historical evaluation maybe applied to sites judgedfundamentally on their architectural value, another category of site is that which derives importance only from itslong-term occupier and not its owner. This type of site isdealt with as a data-base at the end of this section.

Final Evaluation.In all of these broad aspects, there is scope for one ormore of the elements cited to be so important as tooutweigh others. Where General Sir John Monash wasborn in Rich Hill Terrace, Dudley Street, West Melbourne (now a brothel), despite its lack of integrity andmarginal representation of a type, the house achievessome importance. However, how much importancemust be judged by its fidelity, visually, to the period whenMonash occupied it. Otherwise it is not the building tobe preserved but the site. This complex interdependenceand weighing of criteria subverts a simple arithmeticscore and recourse must be made to a judgment on thebasis of the data and experience possessed in historicaland architectural evaluation of both the Study Area andits State context.

Early English ornament consisting of series of

four-cornered stars placed diagonally and raised

pyramidally.

A vault of even curvature erected on a circular

base. The section can be segmental,

semicircular, pointed, or bulbous.

If a dome is to be erected on a square base,

members much be interpolated at the corners to

mediate between the square and the circle. They

can be pendentives or squinches. A

penditive is a spherical triangle; its

curvature is that of a dome whose diameter is the

diagonal of the initial square. The triangle is

carried to the height which allows the erection on

its top horizontal of the dome proper.

A squinch is either an arch or arches of

increasing radius projecting one in front of the

other, or horizontal arches projecting in the same

manner. If squinches are placed in the corners

3

of the square and enough arches are erected on

them, they will result in a suitable base-line for

the dome. In all these cases the dome will have

the diameter of the length of one side of the

square. It can be placed direct on the circular

base-line, when this is achieved, or a drum,

usually with windows, can be interpolated. If

the dome has no drum and is segmental, it is

called a saucer dome.

Another method of developing a dome out of a

square is to take the diagonal of the square as

the diameter of the dome. In this case the dome

starts as if by pendentives, but their curvature

is then continued without any break. Such domes

are called sail vaults, because they

resemble a sail with the four corners fixed and

the wind blowing into it.

A domical vault is not a dome proper. If on

a square base, four webs (CELLS) rise to a point

separated by GROINS (see VAULT). The same

can be done on a polygonal base.
