Statement of Significance

The Gas Inspector's Residence at 1 Gleadell Street, Richmond, built in 1883, is significant at a state level as a rare example of on-site industrial accomodation and for its architecture. While the planning of the residence is traditional, the formality of its exterior and interior, the use of simple classical details and the restrained use of polychrome brick combine to give this small building an impressive dignity. This building is all that remains of the Richmond gasworks and has a historical association with the Metropolitan Gas Company.
