Municipal Inventory	Adopted	19 Jul 1999	Category 1	Category 1 Buildings, which due to their character create the atmosphere of Peppermint Grove, therefore should be retained, but may be altered and extended in a manner which is both discrete and sympathetic to the original fabric and character so that a significant proportion of the original building is retained and from the street the additions are seen to be a continuation of the same fabric and character.

Statement of Significance

This single storey "blood and bandages", Queen Anne style
of merchant's residence, has cultural heritage significance
because:
it is a fine and representative example of the Federation
Queen Anne style;
it is part of a group of merchants residences built in the
first decade of this century;
the group is part of a wider townscape area;
the residence, group and area reflect a significant phase
of the social developmentof the suburb

This is a fine example of the Queen Anne style, although its
verandah has lost decorative details to offset the boldness of
the blood and bandages wall treatment. The residence is
given prominence through its symmetrical street facade being
raised above a tennis court.

This residence is a textbook example of the Queen Anne
style, which lacks the adaptations to local conditions shown
in the neighbouring residence at No 138.

This site reflects a significant phase of the social development
of the suburb. Some social significance.

merchants housing of the period inthe suburb.
