General notes:
Grading as at 1991 : BPeriod : Mid Victorian (1898)Grantee : J Mooney 1859Walter Duke, who operated a carriage building company with his brother, built this house in 1898 and lived there until after 1900.North Melbourne architect, William Webb, designed this ornately decorated, two-storey face-brick and stucco house, with a two-level cast-iron verandah and iron picket fence. Local builders, McConnell and McIntosh carried out this design. [Melbourne Building Permit Applications 7122/1898] A piered and balustraded parapet, with a central segment-arched entablature, surmounts a dentillated cornice with a foliated frieze to the secondary entablature and tympanum. Candle-snuffer pinnacles to the verandah walls are supported by deep brackets which are repeated at the storey line, as are the pinnacles on the fence piers. Balloon arches in the iron friezes, reflect the full arched openings, which are picked out with contrasting brick and flanked by colonettes, and the spoked fanlight to the side-lit doorway. Notable features include verandah, details, finishes, design and fence.Architecturally, of a common inner suburban form and of a late date but richly and skillfully decorated, near original and part of a related streetscape: of regional importance. Historically, owned by a man of the horse-trade allied industry of carriage building, so pertinent to North Melbourne's proximity to the horse markets: of regional importance.
