One of the larger houses in this area which is predominantly small scale and an elegant presence in the street. It has been a boarding house, a brothel and a hospital. The history could do with research.
An elegant presence in the street and of historic importance as a hospital and brothel. The original section of this house has historical significance for being constructed on part of the original subdivision prior to 1901. A large timber-framed house built before 1901 with symmetrical front comprising a door and sidelights and flanking double-hung sash windows with flanking coupled sidelights. There is a major gable over the front door and surrounding bull-nosed verandah. It commenced life as a smaller cottage and has been enlarged at some time during its life. In 1905 owned by Alfred Loveland, labourer. Nurse Loveland and her daughter Naomi had four rooms of this house as a hospital at some time. Reputed to also have been a boarding house and a brothel. 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 19 Perth Street be retained as Category 2 and given higher protection by inclusion on Schedule 1 of the Town’s then operative Town Planning Scheme No. 2 (wherein Schedule 1 was akin to a Heritage List). 3. The heritage place has been restored to a high standard and is in excellent condition, contributing to the character and amenity of the street. 4. Heritage advice provided to the Town supports that the heritage place should be retained and preserved. 5. In June 2014 Council considered and refused a planning application for demolition of 19 Perth Street.
