58 Edinburgh Street

The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.

History:

Unknown.

Description:

The terrace at 58-60 Edinburgh Street comprises a pair of two-storey attached polychromatic brick houses. Italianate in style, they have brown brick walls with cream and red window dressings and quoining. There is a concave-profiled corrugated-iron clad single-storey verandah between brick wing walls with rendered copings and vermiculated consoles. The verandahs have cast iron lacework friezes. The rendered parapet has a cornice and central segmental pediment flanked by scrolls and decorated with a shell motif. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes.

Significance:

The terrace at 58-60 Edinburgh Street, Richmond, is of local architectural significance. Whilst not the most ornate or unusual example of polychromatic brickwork as applied to a residential terrace, the building is nonetheless a good example of the style, and overall a relatively intact example of a building type more common in the more affluent parts of Richmond.
