25737 Reserve Street Heritage Area
Reserve Street Heritage Area represents a substantial, consistent and identifiable aesthetic of Federation architecture being predominantly quality residences with particular examples being No. 6 associated with the Presentation College, No.10, a fine example, and the home of the builder William Williams at No.25, in demonstrating the calibre of the residential environment. Together the residences form a significant Federation streetscape environment.
Single storey painted brick with rendered banding, on a face limestone foundation. The roof is hipped and clad with Zincalume sheeting. There is a dominant decorative front gable detail that includes decorative fretwork stylised diamond shapes that are replicated in fretwork across the verandah valance and brackets, with turned timber posts. The verandah is a separate hipped skillion across the entire frontage (including in front of the gable) and returns down both sides, although one side has the entry recessed back in line with a castellan element. The tall painted chimney has moulded corbelling.
The majority of residences in the Reserve Street Heritage Area were constructed during the ‘Consolidation’ period. 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.
