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

The single storey brick and iron cottage, in the Federation
Arts & Crafts style, has cultural significance because:
it has long historical associations with the Whitfield
and Cariss families, valued members of the
Peppermint Grove community;
it is an attractive and representative example of a
Federation Arts & Crafts style cottage, which
presents strikingly to the street;
it is part of a cultural group and a townscape area.

The place is an attractive example of a cottage in the
Federation Arts & Crafts style which has been adapted in its
plan form to maximise the presentation to the street

The place is a good example of a Federation Arts & Crafts
cottage where the stylistic elements of the decorative gables
are given greater prominence by the rhythm of the 'waterfall
front' arrangement. A high level of integrity has been
retained.

The place is part of a cultural group.
The place is part of the towns cape area at the western end of
Irvine Street.

Cottages of this style and quality are comparatively rare in
the suburb.

The place is a good example of the Federation Arts & Crafts
style for a Peppermint Grove cottage.
