Statement of Significance
Parry Street Heritage Area demonstrates an aesthetic of the diversity of the Federation and Inter-War architectural styles and examples of the Post-War style in the 1950s and 1960s that collectively form a streetscape and represent a snapshot of development through those periods.
Physical Description
Single storey painted brick with a hipped roof with gable features, clad in Colorbond roof sheeting. Awnings cover the pairs of double-hung sash windows on the front wall, and the expansive verandah has a solid balustrade with pairs of timber posts.
History
Original building stock in the Parry Street Heritage Area reflects the styles of houses built during the major periods of growth in the Town’s development.
The ‘Consolidation’ period was a period of rapid growth within the Town. Population and housing grew steadily with 701 households and businesses in 1905, 872 in 1910 and 1,240 in 1915. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway. Surviving heritage homes from this period indicate that housing types were mainly Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
The First World War and its immediate aftermath was a period of relative stagnation in the Town of Claremont’s development. Between 1915 and 1921 the population fell from 7,000 to 5,500 and only one hundred houses were built. The majority of these houses were built in brick, none in stone, and a few in timber. They were built mainly in the Federation Bungalow and Inter-war California Bungalow styles.
From 1921 Claremont started to recover with significant growth into the 1930s. The main areas of development were in the western parts of the town and have left Claremont with a legacy of brick California, Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts Bungalows.
