26335 Hamersley Road Group Heritage Area
The Hamersley Road Group heritage area is of: Aesthetic Value • As an aesthetically pleasing streetscape with a strong identifiable character, featuring an avenue of mature street trees, which frame views of the largely intact Federation and Inter War residences. • For its collection of many good, representative examples of Federation and Inter War cottages and villas which collectively illustrate a range and evolution of detailing between the 1890s and the 1940s. • For the cohesive streetscape created by a limited palette of materials and styles. Historic Value • As a representative collection of houses that illustrate the scale and standard of housing for the homes of unskilled workers to semi-professional and tradespeople, in the early twentieth century. • For the evidence it provides about the manner in which the residence of semi-professional and tradespeople existed alongside the residences of working people and employees. • For its association with the subdivision and rapid settlement of the area from the 1890s to the 1920s which demonstrates the rapid change of the district in the gold boom period and shortly thereafter. Representativeness • As a good representative collection of early twentieth century housing developed within walking distance of transport and services. Physical Form in the Public Realm • The houses, which (with the exception of two modern dwellings) were developed predominantly in the period 1898 to 1921, (and one in 1946) have largely retained their original external detailing and form. The defined period and nature of development has resulted in a consistent palette of materials and form, enlivened by diversity of individual details, with a cohesive streetscape.
The plan for the subdivision of this portion of Hamersley Road was formally approved by the Department of Lands and Surveys in 1891. However the lots were not taken up rapidly. In 1898, Lots in Hamersley Road were advertised for £35. The former residence on this site was occupied by members of the Shand family who were closely associated with Hamersley Road in the early 20th century as Frederick and Grace Shand lived at other premises in Hamersley Road. Frederick George Shand (c1882-1936) The original house on this site was demolished in 2011 and the current residence constructed thereafter.
