General notes:
Building type: ResidencePeriod; Date: Edwardian; 1920History: The land was bought as Crown Allotment No. 1 in 1864. The present house was constructed for Adolph Joske by builder F G Farr in 1920, at a cost of £2,500. The rate books show that Joske occupied the nine-room house, which at the time was rated at £150. By 1946, the house was owned by Beryl Collins, occupied by Stanley Shields and rated at £170. By 1966, the house had been converted into three three-room flats owned by R & J Robinson, and was rated at $1,600. This situation continued until the 1980s. Recently, the building has reverted to a single dwelling.Description: the house is a large double-storey inter-War house. the walls are of rendered brick and the hipped roof is clad in unglazed terracotta tiles. The front elevation has a projecting canted bay with multi-paned timber0framed windows. There is a moulded string course at first floor level and the red brick chimney has an elegant rendered cap and terracotta chimney pots. The front fence is not original, but the timber gate at its east end may be early.Significance: The house is of local historical and aesthetic interest. Historically, it is representative of the substantial residences which were constructed in large numbers throughout South Yarra in the inter-War period. Aesthetically, the house is reasonably intact and incorporates a number of typical Arts and Crafts elements including roughcast rendering and a terracotta tiled roof.
