Statement of Significance

2 Gellibrand Street, Kew is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine example of a substantial two-storey boom-style Victorian Italianate residence, albeit altered through the removal of its original verandah. The house deviates from the more conventional examples of two-storey asymmetrical Italianate residences of the period through the use of a flat gable-ended treatment to its projecting bay (as compared with the more common canted bay and hipped roof form). The curved drip moulding over the front wing windows is also of interest.
