Statement of Significance

This single storey painted brick and iron residence, in the
Federation Queen Anne style, has cultural significance
because:
it was adapted from residential to hospital purposes
in the InterWar period, when it was known as Nurse
Piper's, and later adapted back to residential
purposes;
it is part of a cultural group and a townscape area.

Physical Description

The residence is now rundown and a shadow of its former
lively presence. Much of the exterior facade to the street is
intact apart from the loss of verandah posts and details. The
original house would have been red face brickwork with
contrasting render details. The contrast in colours and
finishes has been lost.

History

Numbers 28, 30 and 32 Irvine Street were all built in the
first decade of the twentieth century and form a group.
Between c.1913 and 1930 No 32 operated as a private
hospital known as 'Nurse Piper's'. Some historical
significance.

The place is a straightforward example of a Federation
Queen Anne bungalow with a distinctive gable treatment. It
has a moderate level of integrity.

The place is part of a cultural group.
The place is part of a townscape area.

Integrity/Authenticity

Verandah posts replaced, Adapted for hospital purposes in
Inter War period & subsequently reverted back to
residential. Front verandah is now a pergola.
