Residence

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

90 Hope Street is a rare example of the use of brick to stylize and pronounce classical decorative elements, on the facade of a residence. It appears to have a connection with the work of the important and innovative pioneer Geelong architect John Young. It is one of the few remaining substantial, high quality brick houses from Geelong West's 1850's era. It is of state significance
