General notes:
Grading as at 1991 : APeriod : Early Victorian (1867)Grantee : J Huggins 1865A cooper, Charles Barber owned these houses from their construction in 1867 until past 1897. He lived in 1 Chetwynd Street during that time and for a period is listed as also residing in 3 Chetwynd Street (1873-1882). For the rest of the time he leased it to such people as Henry Cooke a merchant; Thomas Davey and Helen Lynch.Builders, Holmes and Co., constructed this parapetted, two-storey corner row, of quoined, rock face basalt masonry. Multi-paned window sashes are typical and show windows (2) in 1 Chetwynd Street have survived, as has the heavily moulded four-panel door, which differs from the shallow mouldings on the private residences adjoining. Of note is the street name plate, fixed to the wall in the traditional way. The building is at the street alignment. Notable features include shopfront, stone finish, design. Enamel street sign on wall.Architecturally, high integrity, uncommon well-laid wall material, unusual combination of uses in a row, early construction date and obvious corner siting give this building State significance. Historically, owned and occupied by a man of a horse-trade allied occupation typical of the study area and prominently located: of local importance.
