25837 Freshwater Parade Heritage Area
Statement of Significance
Freshwater Parade Heritage Area comprises a group of substantial Federation residences that predominantly demonstrate a similarity of design and detail of a refined Bungalow style, leading to the Queen Anne example at No.25. The group forms a cohesive cultural environment of quality residences of the ‘Federation’ period.
Physical Description
Single storey tuckpointed brickwork with rendered banding, and render to sill height on the front gable wall. The Zincalume hipped roof and half-timbered roughcast gable to the projecting half front has a bracketed set of four casements with fanlights with timber-framed awning over. The return verandah across the front and down the side to another gabled ‘front’ is a separate hipped skillion roof. The timber-floored verandah has turned timber posts. The entry is on the verandahed side, and the front wall under the verandah has a pair of bachelor windows.
History
Freshwater Parade was created as Victoria Parade by a subdivision of Location 350 which was the site of the first farm (Munro 1863) in Claremont away from the original Pensioner Guard locations. The breaking up of Location 350 into large pieces with a road (Victoria Parade) running through from Victoria Avenue may have occurred during 1876-1889 as it appears on a plan dated to this period and another dated tentatively to 1884/1885. The street had been laid out and subdivided into household lots and five houses built by 1902, when the survey for the 1903 Stratford Strettle plan was carried out. One of these houses is still standing. Most of the historical development of the street however occurred between 1905 and 1915 when the number residents rose from 5 to 22; only four more houses were added between 1915 and 1940. The street therefore belongs firmly to the 1903 to 1915 period of consolidation. By the end of this development period there were 1,240 houses within the town with housing types that were mainly brick Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne with three to five rooms.
