Why is it significant?
The house at 195 Barkly Street, Brunswick, constructed c.1877 for
David Beattie, is significant. Non-original alterations and additions
and the front fence are not significant.
The house at 195 Barkly Street, Brunswick is of local and
historical and representative significance to the City of Moreland.
It is of historical significance as a rare example of a house
erected prior to the 'Boom' years of the 1880s. Barkly Street was one
of the early streets in Brunswick and this is one of several examples
of houses dating from the 1850s to the 1870s in the street. (Criterion
A)
It is significant as a representative example of a
freestanding, double-storey Victorian residence of the 1870s. When
compared to the more elaborate houses built during the 'Boom' period
of the 1880s, this earlier construction date is demonstrated by the
partial rough stone construction and simpler form and detailing
including the four-paned timber sash windows, the four panel timber
door with simple highlight window at the ground level, the transverse
roof form visible behind a simple low parapet with moulded cornice and
ball finials and rendered brick chimneys at either end; and separate
balcony/verandah with hipped roof and squared timber posts and simple
cast iron frieze panel, brackets and balustrade. (Criterion D)
