Townhouse

Location 44 Carlton Street,, CARLTON VIC 3053 - Property No B0158 File Number B0158 Level Local

[1/1] B158 44 Carlton St Carlton

Statement of Significance

The two storey brick townhouse was erected in 1878 for Frederick Hewlitt, a medical practitioner. The rendered facade was once graced by a cantilevered first floor balcony with cast iron balustrade.
This is a typical conservative classical style terrace with fine mouldings. The unusual cantilevered balcony gave the building a distinct character and appearance. It is nevertheless an essential part of the Carlton Street and Gardens precinct and a typical example of a building type which is a special feature of inner suburban Melbourne.
The cast iron palisade fence is compatible with the house. The cantilevered first floor balcony has been removed.
