GRAEME BUTLER 1983, CONSERVATION STUDY FOR THE CITY OF MELBOURNE OF NORTH AND WEST MELBOURNEHistory - When this house was built in 3886, William Warner, the cabinet-maker moved here from 634-6 Queensberry Street (qv). Presumably his business prospered, for in 1895, when he was still the owner and occupier, he is listed as a ...gentleman.Description - A double-fronted, hipped and slated roof, polychrome brick villa, with an elevated cast-iron verandah. Dentil mouldings survive beneath the verandah roof gutter (ogee profile) and an iron picket fence at the frontage.Integrity - Generally original.Streetscape - One of two hipped roof villas midst gabled row houses in the Dryburgh Street north precinct.Significance - Architecturally, a near original example of a mass-produced but therefore typical, villa of the late 19th century and part of a streetscape: of local importance.Historically, owned and occupied by another of the building-allied proprietors of the area: of local interest..Recommendations -Repaint trim in original or typical colours: use as example for restoration..References:(RB= Rate book; D= Melbourne or Victoria Directory)1. RB 1886-87. 3274 : RB 1895-96, 3339
