Building Title: Endion (current title Kingsgate)Building Type: ResidenceStyle: Gothic Revival/FederationPeriod: VictorianConstruction date: 1890 ; Source: Building PermitMaterials: Timber shingles ; Terra cotta shinglesNotable features/Significance: This large house displays features of the Gothic Revival i.e. high pitched gable roofs and very fine bargeboards with the fretwork in scale with the size of gable. The fenestration and use of unpainted red brick and shingles (to fence) also suggest the Edwardian period. The chimneys and the side and front fence are particularly interesting.Recommended Alterations: Terra cotta tile roof (inappropriate - no recommendations)Other Comments: New garage at rear is a sympathetic and appropriate design.Architect: Purches Guyon (BPA)Builder : Dunton John, Barry Street Carlton (BPA)1890 - Occupier: Clapp F.B. ; Owner: Clapp F.B.(?) - No. 32 - Brickhouse, 20 rooms (Rates 400 pounds)1895 - Occupier: Clapp F.B. ; Owner: Clapp F.B.(?) - No. 32 - Brickhouse & Stables, 20 rooms (Rates 315 pounds)1926 - Owner: Executors Clapp - No. 32 - Brickhouse & Stables, 18 rooms (Rates 500 pounds)1982 -Occupier: OYO flats - No. 252 - Flats, 7 rooms
