Statement of Significance

This is one of a number of houses of heritage value in this street and precinct. Whilst not the most ^ significant of these it is nevertheless worth preserving as part of the whole streetscape.

Physical Description

1995 Comment: Of historic and architectural interest in prominent heritage streetscape/precinct. "Derhan House", lot 12/46. A gable-fronted house built 1906-7 with two gables half-timbered with rough-cast plaster. The walls are rendered, the roof iron. Most is hidden behind a creeper-covered modern brick wall. The unusual element is the wonderfully ornate late Victorian chimney stacks. These are painted render with decorative cast feather brackets to the corbels. The straight terracotta pots have circular openings at intervals around the sides. The house has had an extension to the rear. Reason for Inclusion 1. The place is of higher-order local cultural heritage significance, being classified as Category 2 in the Town’s Municipal Inventory (MI). 2. In 2005 the Town undertook a review of MI Category 2 places towards the Heritage List for LPS3. The study recommended that the property be retained as Category 2. 3. The place contributes to the character and amenity of the street, locality and overall district.
