7.2 December 2017 Quarterly Performance Report

The Quarterly Performance Report for December 2017 is designed to identify and explain any major variances to budget at an organisational level for the period ending 31 December 2017.

Council’s year to date net operating surplus of $111.68 million is $8.28 million or 8% above the September Amended Budget surplus of $103.39 million. The favourable year to date variance is attributable to a number of factors which are outlined in Section 3 of Attachment 1.

The overall financial position at 31 December 2017 is satisfactory with a working capital ratio of 7.26 to 1 (includes a 0.5% or $738,000 cash contingency for emergency response works and reserve funds of $15.39 million).

For the December quarter, the 2017-18 Annual Plan commitments indicate that 15% of commitments have been completed and further 85% have been commenced.

Achievements of the Strategic Indicators have been assessed at 90%, year to date.

7.6 Designation of Recreation Hall Reserve as a dog off-leash reserve

Council’s Order In Council No.1 (“Order”) sets out controls relating to dogs and designates specific reserves as dog ‘off-leash’ areas. In response to community interest, this report is brought to Council to consider adoption of amendments to the Order by designating Recreation Hall Reserve, Kew, as a dog ‘off-leash’ and making administrative corrections to some designated reserve names and suburbs.

At the Services Special Committee meeting on 12 February 2018, the Committee resolved to refer the amendment proposals to Council for determination.

The resolution followed the Committee’s consideration of the 13 submissions received through the public consultation process held between 19 December 2017 and 31 January 2018. Overall, the feedback from submitters was overwhelmingly positive with all submitters supporting the ‘off-leash designation proposal. One submitter provided comment on and support for the proposed administrative corrections.

Two submitters addressed the Committee to reiterate their submission request for perimeter fencing, in addition to their support for designation of the reserve as ‘off- leash’. In response, officers maintained the reasoning reflected in the report for not supporting fencing. In addition, the likely adverse amenity impacts for residents in abutting properties were also highlighted if fencing was installed.

There were some ancillary matters also raised by the presenters however they do not relate directly to the proposed amendments to the Order.

These matters included the use of revenue from animal registration fees to which multiple examples were provided by officers. The other item raised was the development of dedicated fenced dog ’off-leash’ reserves and access to scheduled work timelines for completion of the project. Officers reinforced Council’s commitment to completing this project and explained the complexities involved, making it difficult to provide definitive timelines. Officers also advised identification of potential sites was nearing completion.

MOTION

Moved Councillor Healey

Seconded Councillor Addis

That Council resolve to:

1. Adopt the Amended Order to include Recreation Hall Reserve as a designated dog off-leash reserve and make administrative corrections to designated reserve and suburb names, as provided in Attachment 2, and as annexed to the minutes.

2. Complete the statutory process by publishing the Amended Order in the Victorian Government Gazette and the Progress Leader.

7.10 Proposed naming of Right of Way - Rear of 451 to 461 Camberwell Road, Camberwell

A request has been received from an adjoining property owner, for the right of way located at the rear of 451 to 461 Camberwell Road and 64 and 64a Christowel Street, Camberwell, to be named.

The basis of the request is that the applicant’s property does not have vehicular access at the front of the property (Camberwell Road). As a result, any deliveries to the property must be made at the rear of the property, via the right of way. The naming of the right of way will assist vehicle operators identify the laneway’s access points and enable visitors and couriers to more easily locate the correct premises through both visual identification and GPS coordinates.

The naming of roads and streets (including rights of way) is a local government responsibility under the Local Government Act 1989. However, all naming proposals must meet the requirements of the Geographic Place Names Act 1998 and associated Naming rules for places in Victoria 2016 (“the Rules”). The Rules set out the Principles that form the basis of whether or not a naming request is compliant. They are wide ranging and are intended to cover the naming of any place or feature in Victoria.

The revision of scope for Phase 2 deliverables can be delivered within the current contractual arrangements without any change to terms and conditions. Phase 2 will deliver key foundational technology infrastructure to enabling the integration of information across core council business systems. These 24/7 eService capabilities will further improve the customer experience by providing significant online transactional convenience for customers as well as improvements in the responsiveness of applications and communications across council. Phase 2 of the Digital Transformation project will enable the extension of services to be delivered across the Phase 1 web and mobile platform.

Phase 2 is planned to be delivered over a nine month period commencing before June 30, 2018. Managed services are provided to September 2019 consistent with contractual arrangements entered into in October 2016 for Phase 1 with options for 2 x 2 years extensions at Council’s discretion. At the completion of Phase 2 further planning and analysis will be undertaken and a proposal put to Council for Phase 3.

As awarded by Council on 12 September, 2016 the current 2016/190 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu contract service value for the delivery of the website was $8,767,640 with a council contingency of $1,480,202, a total approved project value of $10,247,842.

7.11. Submission on managing E-Waste in Victoria

The Victorian Government has committed to banning e-waste from landfill in Victoria. Public consultation on the policy impact assessment and the associated draft waste management policies has been undertaken by the Department of Environment, Land, Waste and Planning.

As the closing date for submission was in January 2018 Boroondara made an officer submission, drawing content from a number of existing strategies and plans which have been adopted by Council. While acknowledging the environmental objectives the proposed change is seeking to affect, the Boroondara submission raises a numer of concerns including the cost impacts on local government, a lack of focus on provider e-waste responsibility and the short time to implementation.

This report seeks Council endorsement of the submission and provides an update on broader sector interest in this matter, noting in particular the submission made by the Municipal Association of Victoria.

MOTION

7.12. North East Link: Update

This report seeks Council endorsement of a Boroondara submission on the North East Link Authority (NELA) Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC or the Act) referral. It also updates Council on recent activities relating to the North East Link (NEL) project.

On 18 January 2018 the NELA referral to the EPBC was published on the Federal Department of the Environment and Energy (DoEE) website. The referral was prepared in accordance with DoEE guidelines and was triggered by:

 Works on Commonwealth land, being the Simpson Barracks, and  Works likely to impact an EPBC listed species, being the Matted Flax-lily.

City of Boroondara Page 17 Council Minutes 26/02/18

The referral was published as an invitation for public comment and provided 10 business days in in which to prepare and submit a report detailing whether, and how, the proposal would have a significant impact on matters protected by the EPBC Act.

Accordingly, Council officers prepared and submitted a report to the DoEE on behalf of Council (Attachment 1). The report had input from experts in the fields of ecology, hydrology and hydrogeology. The report was submitted by email to the DoEE on Tuesday 6 February 2018 following the receipt of a three business day extension, and was copied to the Minister for the Environment and Energy.

The report submitted to the DoEE in accordance with the EPBC referral guidelines is now presented to Council for endorsement. The submission raises a number of concerns about the EPBC Act referral and requests the Minister for the Environment and Energy to ensure the most rigorous environmental assessment of the project is undertaken.

Since last updating Council on the NEL project, officers have been provided with some further information about the proposed design of the Eastern Freeway, including:

 Collector - Distributor design to physically separate NEL-bound and city-bound traffic from Tram Road to Bulleen Road.  Fully managed motorway operations, including overhead speed control for each land and no dedicated emergency lanes.  Widening of the Eastern Freeway from Chandler Highway to Springvale Road of between one and four lanes in each direction.

The following indicative traffic volume changes have also been advised by NELA:

 Generally, there is a 1-3% decrease in traffic volumes on east-west roads and a 1-3% increase in traffic volumes on north-south roads in Boroondara.  Modelling indicates an 8-10% increase in traffic volumes on Bulleen Road south of the Eastern Freeway.

Council resolved on 27 November 2017 to write to local Members of Parliament, to the leaders of the Victorian Liberal and Greens parties and the leaders of all other non-government political parties represented in the State Parliament. The letters sought support of Council’s position that Option C best achieves the NEL project objectives. Of the replies received, the responses ranged from opposition to the project and four corridor options (the Victorian Greens) to advice noting the project and alignments are being considered with no preferred corridor at this stage (Victorian Liberal Party).

In late 2017 Council wrote to the Victorian Information Commissioner to appeal NELA’s decision to not release any documents in response to Council’s request for information about the NEL project under Freedom of Information provisions. Council has also written to the Victorian Ombudsman regarding the process undertaken by NELA relating to the NEL project. Officers understand both agencies are in the process of considering these requests.

MOTION

Moved Councillor Thompson

Seconded Councillor Healey

That Council resolve:

1. To request the state opposition Shadow Minister for Planning, the Hon. David Davis MLC, Victorian Greens and minor parties to support a revocation in the Legislative Council of Amendment C298 on the basis that:

 The State Government has failed to consult with Council regarding Amendment C298 and proposed development since the revocation of the previous amendment C251.

 Council has not been given the opportunity to review architectural plans and be satisfied with the proposed development, in particular with respect to issues regarding building design, removal of mature trees, the provision of car parking and the design of vehicle access way crossing over Gardiners Creek Shared Path.

 Council being excluded from its ordinary role as the responsible planning authority and the community being denied their ordinary third party rights of notice and review.

 The provision of 62 public housing dwellings in a development of 200 dwellings is inadequate having regard to the current public housing waiting list of 35,000.

 The sale of public land to private developers is inappropriate as it effectively forgoes any potential future redevelopment in the public interest.

 Very little has changed in relation to the core issues previously raised by Council, the community, the Coalition opposition, Greens and minor parties since the previous revocation which can only lead to the same response by those same members of parliament.

2. To write to the Ashburton Residential Action Group informing them of this motion.

While intended to partially recover replacement costs and to encourage greater care of tags by animal owners, a review of the replacement fee has demonstrated that it is not cost effective to continue applying the fee. The review also found that replacement numbers have plateaued and the annual costs to replace tags is low and can be readily absorbed within the annual operating budget. It is therefore considered appropriate to respond to community feedback by deleting these fees.

DUPLEX

Prepared by: Context Pty Ltd

Address: 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn Name: Duplex Survey Date: 18 May 2016 Place Type: Residential Architect: Grading: Individually Significant Builder: John Marriage Extent of Overlay: To title boundaries Construction Date: 1928-29

Historical Context The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn is associated with the following themes in the City of Boroondara Thematic Environmental History (BTEH) 2012:

3.0 Connecting Victorians: 3.5 Travelling by tram

6.0 Building towns, cities and the Garden State: 6.3 Shaping the suburbs, 6.3.3 Creating middle class suburbs in the early twentieth century; 6.7 Making homes for Victorians, 6.7.5 Developing higher density living

The following historical context comprises edited extracts from the BTEH 2012. The term ‘study area’ refers to the City of Boroondara:

Travelling by tram The opening of the new Victoria Street Bridge in 1884, and the establishment of a cable tram terminus (on the Collingwood side of the river) in late 1885, prompted the Melbourne Tramway & Omnibus Company to propose a horse-drawn tram route through Kew. Commencing in 1887, this route ran between the gates of the Boroondara Cemetery and the new bridge, where commuters could cross the river and board the

______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 67 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

cable tram to the city. In January 1890, the same company established a second horse- drawn tram route through the study area – this time, extending from the Hawthorn Bridge (where there was another cable tram terminus on the western bank) along Burwood Road, Power Street, and Riversdale Road to Auburn Road, Upper Hawthorn. As Gwen McWilliam notes, this new tram route was to have a significant impact on the development of Riversdale Road as a local retail centre. However, although residents of Camberwell had hoped that the horse-drawn tram network would be extended further, the Melbourne Tramway & Omnibus Company opened no new lines after 1891 (BTEH 2012:69).

After the passing of the Melbourne to Burwood Tramway Act of 1914, the Cities of Hawthorn, Camberwell, Richmond and Melbourne formed the Hawthorn Tramways Trust to provide a continuous tram route across all four municipalities. The trust's first meeting was held in June 1914, and, twelve months later, tenders were called for the construction of the tramway from Princes Bridge to Burwood, via Swan Street. In August 1915, the foundation stone was laid for the car depot, to be erected at the corner of Wallen Road and Power Street at a cost of £18,000. Within twelve months, the Hawthorn Tramways Trust had extended its route into Camberwell proper. Underwritten by Council, the line had stretched along Riversdale Road to Wattle Park by the end of the year, with another route along Camberwell Road towards Burwood. During 1916, the Council had also approached the Prahran & Malvern Tramways Trust to extend its existing lines along Burke Road, from Gardiner to Deepdene, and then further eastwards along Whitehorse Road to Union Road, Surrey Hills (BTEH 2012:70).

Residential subdivision from 1910 to 1940 The MMBW plans of the study area, prepared in the early twentieth century, provide a useful overview for the extent of residential subdivision by that time. Much of Hawthorn's northern half had already been closely settled with villas, mansions and cottages; the maps show relatively few areas with little or no development. These included the Grace Park Estate which, while created in the 1880s, had few houses actually built on it over the following two decades. Both sides of Urquhart Street were largely unsettled (still operating as market gardens) and, further east, there were comparable gaps between Rathmines Road and Barkers Road. The bulk of Hawthorn's underdeveloped land, however, was further south, beyond Riversdale Road; this included the flood-prone land between Glenferrie Road and the river, most of the north-south streets between Glenferrie and Auburn Roads, and virtually everything south of Pleasant Road as far as the brickworks on Gardiner's Creek. Much of the corresponding riverside land in Kew, between Princess Street and the Yarra River, was also sparsely settled at that time, as were those areas extending west of Adeney Avenue and Belford Road to Burke Road. (BTEH 2012:128).

Most of the aforementioned gaps in the Cities of Hawthorn and Kew disappeared during an intensive boom of residential subdivision between 1910 and 1940. The smaller gaps, representing the expansive grounds of nineteenth century mansions, were carved into subdivisions that were invariably named after the property itself (which was sometimes demolished, or sometimes retained on a smaller block). In Kew, this trend began with the Findon Estate on Barkers Road (1911) and soon spread elsewhere; examples in Hawthorn included the Harcourt Heights Estate (1918) and the Creswick Estate (1923), both of which formed part of what had, in the second half of the nineteenth century, been the municipality’s premier residential addresses. A number of these subdivisions – what might be termed as infill estates – appeared in between Burwood Road and Riversdale Road, including the notably early Manchester Estate (1909) and later ones such as the Urquhart Estate (1921), the Beulah Estate (1924) and the Dean Estate (1931). The estates themselves followed a typical pattern, with simple rectilinear layouts of through- streets (occasionally kinked to avoid, for example, a retained mansion) that ran between

2 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 68 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

existing major thoroughfares, and relatively small allotments that were sufficient for single detached dwellings in a garden setting (BTEH 2012:128).

Developing higher density living Melbourne's first purpose-built residential flats appeared in the 1910s – a period that, in many suburbs, coincided with the development of local electric tram networks and the electrification of railway lines. There was an obvious attraction in erecting new blocks of flats in proximity to local transport routes and, in many parts of the metropolitan area, flats proliferated along main roads with tram lines (often also spilling into the side streets that extended from them) and within reasonable walking distance of railway stations. The potential for residential flats in the study area was recognised as early as 1920, when architects Pitt & Walkley prepared plans for a block on Riversdale Road, Hawthorn, and, at the same time, another architect proposed an apartment conversion in Union Road, Surrey Hills. Neither of these projects, however, appears to have spawned local imitators. During the 1920s, relatively few blocks of flats would be built in the study area, and virtually all of these were situated in the City of Hawthorn. Comparable development elsewhere was hampered by mitigating factors. In Kew, for example, the limited local transport network was hardly conducive to flat development (BTEH 2012:145).

Further east, as Chris McConville pointed out, “Camberwell's distance from the city kept flat-builders at bay”. In the latter case, flat-builders were also kept at bay by local by-laws that were introduced in the 1920s to restrict the construction of multi-unit dwellings. But, as McConville further noted, “by the end of the 1920s, flats had appeared in neighbouring suburbs and after the Depression they were poised to invade Camberwell”. However, they did so only on a very modest scale. As Graeme Butler points out, the “prevailing antagonism to multi-occupancy buildings” in the municipality of Camberwell meant that very few blocks of flats were built there. Those that were, moreover, were invariably designed in such a way that they resembled overscaled single dwellings and thus did not besmirch the quality of the residential streetscape. Needless to say, similar concerns were not evident in the City of Hawthorn, where apartment construction boomed from the 1930s. Major thoroughfares with tramlines, notably Glenferrie Road and Riversdale Road, continued to attract new blocks of flats during that period, although notable examples also appeared in some Hawthorn’s of older residential areas, as well as the new inter-war estates in the south of the municipality (BTEH 2012:146).

History

‘Summerlee’1 1860-1928 At the beginning of the twentieth century Riversdale Road between Power Street and Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn was lined with grand mansions and large villas mostly set in spacious grounds. On the south side, one of these was ‘Summerlee’, which was situated at the west corner of Glenroy Road. This contained a mansion house set well back from Riversdale Road behind a carriage drive. Behind the mansion was a complex of outbuildings including a large stable block and two tennis courts with an adjoining summer house. The grounds were enclosed by an iron palisade fence along the frontage, and brick fences on the side boundaries.

1 ‘Summerlee’ is the spelling used on historical documents such as MMBW plans, title documents and newspaper articles up to the 1930s. It appears that ‘Summerlea’ was adopted after World War Two. 3 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 69 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Part of MMBW Detail Plan No.1480 dated 1904 showing ‘Summerlee’ and surrounding villa residences The first stage of ‘Summerlee’ was built in 1860-61 for Dugald McDougall to a design by noted architect, Leonard Terry. It was extended in 1883. After Dugald’s death in 1886 it was tenanted or occupied by McDougall’s widow until 1905 when it was sold to Rosa Turner, wife of Sir George Turner (‘Summerlea’ citation, Hermes 14829; LV2).

The opening of the electric tramway along Riversdale Road encouraged more intensive residential development along the route resulting in the subdivision of many of the large mansion estates during the interwar period. Other factors included rising labour costs, which meant that many owners could no longer afford staff to maintain their vast estates, and what Wilde (1993:62), when describing a similar process in Malvern and Toorak, refers to as ‘the combined pressures of probate, depression and profit’.

According to Gould (1993:89) the close proximity of Hawthorn to the city and its high status as a desirable residential suburb made Hawthorn ‘an ideal location for high-density luxury flats in the 1930s and 1940s’ and many of these were located along the western end of Riversdale Road. The transformation of this section of Riversdale Road into an enclave of flats appears to have begun around 1924 when ‘San Jose’ was built at No.2 for Mr. E.V. Jones (HHS 1992). The adjoining Arts & Crafts style flats at nos. 4 and 6 were probably built around the same time or earlier, and by the late 1930s there was an almost continuous row of flats that also included nos. 10 (‘Lancefield’), 12, 14, 16, 18-20 (‘Linden’ and ‘Loloma’) and 22-24 (‘Beadon’) (HHS 1992).

Meanwhile, Sir George Turner died in 1916 and in 1923 it was reported that his widow, Lady Turner, ‘disposed’ of ‘Summerlee’ to a Mr Parker Gill who intended to subdivide the property (Table Talk, 23 August 1923, p.34). Consequently, in December 1923 the ‘superb Summerlee estate’ was first offered for sale. The sale notice noted that this was the ‘only available building land in this fashionable locality’ (The Argus, 15 December

4 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 70 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

1923, p.3). The subdivision contained 12 lots fronting Riversdale Road, Glenroy Road and a new cul-de-sac, Summerlee (now Summerlea) Grove, leading off Glenroy Road. The mansion was retained on a much-reduced allotment that also included the lot at the corner of Glenroy and Riversdale roads. Also retained were parts of the front and side fences along Riversdale and Glenroy roads, which are shown on the subdivision plans (LV2, LP 12658). However, it appears the sale of land in the subdivision was delayed by the death in 1926 of Lady Turner and only commenced once Probate was granted in January 1928 (LV2).

Lot 2 in the subdivision became the present 70 Riversdale Road. This was sold in 1928 to George J.A. Towers and John Marriage (LV2). At the same time, Towers and Marriage also purchased the adjoining lot 3 to the east and three of the lots on the south side of Summerlea Grove. In 1929 they purchased an allotment on the north side of Summerlea Grove, and by 1930 had acquired the allotment containing the mansion and the adjoining lot 4 at the corner of Glenroy Road and Riversdale Road.

Duplex, 70 Riversdale Road This duplex at 70 Riversdale Road was erected by late 1929 or early 1930 for (and probably by) the owner, John Marriage, who was a builder. It was described in the 1928- 29 rate books as two six-room brick flats, ‘unfinished’. By 1931 Randal Scott was the owner and he occupied one of the flats, while the other flat was tenanted (RB).

This was one of the first buildings on the ‘Summerlee’ subdivision. By 1932 Marriage had erected another house at the west corner of Glenroy Road (the present house at no. 76A), which he rented out (and later occupied), and in 1933 ‘Killamount’, a block of four flats, was built on the adjoining lot 2 of the ‘Summerlee’ subdivision (now 68 Riversdale Road) for the owner, Catherine McCormack (RB). All of these buildings were in the fashionable interwar Mediterranean style.

Interwar Mediterranean style The Interwar Mediterranean style is also referred to as Mediterranean Revival and Mediterranean Villa. The style appeared in Australia in the late 1910s in response to the temperate climate and sunlight, which were conducive to ‘an architecture of simple shapes, light and shade, bleached pastel colours and accents of classical detail’, according to Professor of Architecture at the University of Sydney, Leslie Wilkinson, who is credited with popularising the style in Australia after his arrival in 1918 (Apperley et al. 1989:172). Through his influence, and that of architect Hardy Wilson, the style gained popularity in the 1920s (Cuffley 1989:74-5). The style was commonly applied to domestic architecture in upper and upper-middle class suburbs, but later to modest-sized commercial and institutional buildings (Apperley et al. 1989:172). In the 1920s, many saw Mediterranean-based design as a potential basis for a future national design (Raworth 2012:450).

It is related to the Interwar Spanish Mission style, but is intentionally designed with subtler features, in a simple yet elegant form. Details take on an austere classical or Renaissance mode, which subtly evokes a vaguely Mediterranean feel, in comparison to the more blatant and bold Iberian features of Spanish Mission architecture. In particular, Interwar Mediterranean domestic architecture incorporates pergolas, balconies, arcaded loggia and a formal entrance, with sidelights and highlights, while Tuscan columns appear in verandahs and porches. The exterior is lightly bagged or cement-rendered. Large double-hung sashes have small panes with narrow wooden glazing bars, which reflect Georgian principles, often with louvered shutters (Apperley et al. 1989:172-4; Cuffley 1989:75-6).

In 1922, architect Rodney Alsop wrote an article on architecture and climate for the November issue of Australia Home Builder, in which he commented on the growing trend

5 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 71 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

to draw from Georgian and Mediterranean styles, often in the same building (Cuffley 1989:80). Three years later in 1925, drawings of the style by Melbourne architects Marcus Barlow and FGB Hawkins, blending Georgian and Mediterranean influences, were published in the November edition of The Australian Home Beautiful (Cuffley 1989:78-9).

The Prime Minister’s residence, ‘The Lodge’, designed by the Melbourne partnership Oakley & Parkes in 1926, is one of the best-known examples of the Interwar Mediterranean style in Australia. The style was popularised in Australia by the 1930s, appearing as small-scale bungalows in new suburban subdivisions.

Description & Integrity 70 Riversdale Road is a two-storey duplex in the Interwar Mediterranean style with textured render walls and a dominant tiled hip roof with deep eaves. Typical of the style, the front elevation is symmetrically composed with projecting bays on either side of a recessed central bay, which sits behind a porch with an elegant triple-arch loggia and balustrade above, and there is another smaller balcony with balustrade in the east wall. The timber doors opening on to the porch and balcony are original and each projecting bay has triple sash windows at ground and first floor: the upper windows have a window box, while the lower windows feature Serlian moulding with a fan shaped cartouche. There is one rendered chimney.

The duplex appears to have a very high degree of both intactness and integrity. A gable- fronted garage has been added on the east side, but it is set well back from the façade and is visually recessive. The only other visible changes are the installation of an air conditioner to one of the upper floor windows and iron security screens at ground floor level.

Along the front of the property is a cast iron palisade fence on a bluestone plinth, which appears to date from the nineteenth century and is thought to be a surviving section of the front fence for the ‘Summerlee’ mansion. Other sections of the ‘Summerlee’ fence also survive at no. 76A where the front fence incorporates the original bluestone base to which a mild-steel interwar balustrade has been added that partly returns along Glenroy

Road. Behind this, along the balance of the Glenroy Road sideage is a brick fence on bluestone foundations that once extended along the whole of the ‘Summerlee’ boundary.

Section of ‘Summerlee’ side brick fence, 76A Riversdale Road (facing Glenroy Road) This duplex is one of a number of interwar apartments in this part of Riversdale Road, and also forms part of a related group of Mediterranean style flats and residences built on the ‘Summerlee’ estate, which include ‘Killamount’ at no.68, and the single storey residence at no.76A. The flats built at the rear of the ‘Summerlee’ mansion facing Summerlea Grove also incorporate some Mediterranean style details that are similar to No.70.

Comparative Analysis Many of the early flats in Melbourne, built during the period from c.1915 to c.1920 were in the Arts & Crafts style, with some demonstrating the transition to the California Bungalow style that became popular after World War I. From the mid-1920s onwards Old English, Spanish Mission and Georgian Revival became the most fashionable styles for residential architecture in Victoria, particularly in well-heeled suburbs such as Hawthorn. As Lewis (1992:1) notes:

The period after the Depression saw a shift towards the new and exciting modern idioms emanating from Europe and America. Nevertheless period character was not put totally aside. Old English architecture lingered on throughout the 1930s and the Mission and Georgian idioms provided a formal framework through which modernism could be absorbed and modified.

This progression of styles is demonstrated by the surviving interwar flats in Boroondara. The earliest known examples of purpose-built flats in Boroondara date from the early 1920s and Riversdale Road between Power Street and Glenferrie Road comprises a representative sample of interwar flats dating from the early 1920s to the late 1930s.

The majority of interwar flats in Hawthorn are in the Old English or Moderne styles, or a hybrid of the two. Examples in the Boroondara HO include ‘Berwyn’, 7 Glenroy Road (Old English, Individual, HO450), ‘Lennox Court’, 11 Lennox Street (Hybrid, Individual, HO457), Flats and professional rooms at 568 Glenferrie Road (Moderne/International, Individual, HO47), ‘Lancefield’, ‘Linden’ & ‘Loloma’, at 10, 18 & 20 (respectively) Riversdale Road (Old English, Contributory, HO148 precinct), flats at 45 Denham Street (Old English, Contributory, HO220 precinct), flats at 2A Lyall Street (Old English, Contributory, HO164 precinct), flats at 468 Glenferrie Road (Moderne, Contributory, HO149 precinct), and the Corsewall Close flats precinct (Hybrid, Contributory, HO147 precinct). Examples not in the HO include ‘Riversdale Court’ (Moderne) 73 Riversdale Road, and ‘Clovelly Court’ (Hybrid) 84 Riversdale Road, and ‘Cliveden Manor’ (Old English) 178 Auburn Road.

As discussed in the history, the Interwar Mediterranean style was influenced by classical Italian and Spanish forms and precedents. There is often crossover between this style and elements of the concurrent Georgian Revival, particularly the use of dominant hip roofs and louvered shutters. It also has some relation to the more embellished Spanish Mission style, which has similar massing and use of loggias but is also characterised by multiple decorative flourishes such as ogee parapets, twisted columns, Cordoba roof tiles and cast-cement reliefs.

Compared to the Old English and Moderne flats, there are fewer flats in the Interwar Mediterranean style, and the related Spanish Mission and Georgian/Colonial revival styles in Hawthorn (and Boroondara more generally). Examples of Georgian Revival flats include ‘Craignethorne’, 24-26 Mason Street (built c.1940, Individual HO97), ‘San Jose’, 2 Riversdale Road, (1924, Individual, HO148), flats at 14 & 16 Riversdale Road (c.1935, Contributory, HO148) and ‘Glenard’, 3 Wellesley Road (not in the HO).

The earliest example of an interwar Mediterranean style house in Boroondara is ‘Montalgre’, designed by Lionel San Miguel and constructed in 1921 (HO255, 168A Mont Albert Road, Canterbury), whilst other early examples include ‘Mallow’ (1923, HO382, 33 Deepdene Road, Deepdene), Vial House (1923, HO617, 23-25 Canterbury Road, Camberwell) and 1 Bradford Avenue, Kew (1927-28, HO277). A later example is the EA Watts House (1931, HO282, 1291 Burke Road, Kew), a two-storey house which incorporates moulded arch tympani and quoins.

10 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 76 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Flats in the Interwar Mediterranean style first appeared somewhat later than the houses. The earliest known examples in Boroondara, both dating from c.1929, are ‘Nertherton’ and ‘Kermith’, situated on adjacent sites within the HO149 precinct in Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn:

• ‘Netherton’, 472 Glenferrie Road (Significant). This is a relatively tall (four-storey) block. The lower level is of clinker brick, while the walls above are rendered. The side drive gives access to the porte-cochere. A forward projecting bay contains balconies (now enclosed). On the first level Tuscan columns are applied to the square opening, while an arched loggia with associated roundels is used on the second level, and a wide rectangular opening to the third level. The eaves are very wide, shutters are used to most openings and widely proportioned double hung windows are used. The designer/architect is not known. The Hawthorn Heritage Study describes this block as ‘Spanish Mission’ but in its pared back detailing it is closer to the Mediterranean style.

• ‘Kermith’, 470 Glenferrie Road (Contributory). Built at the same time or earlier than ‘Netherton’ (it is shown on the same MMBW drainage plan), this comprises two connected but separate two-storey blocks; one facing to Glenferrie Road and the other to Wellesley Road. The Glenferrie Road block is rendered with a hipped roof with broad eaves. The symmetrical façade features central arched loggias (containing entrances and stairs to the apartments) to the ground and first floors, which are flanked by paired sash windows with multi-paned upper sashes with shutters. There is a tiled hipped hood over the front entrance supported on decorative wrought-iron brackets and a similar hood over the basement garages that face Wellesley Road. The Wellesley Road block is also rendered and has similar detailing, but in this case the stairwell projects forward of the building. Overall, both have a very high degree of integrity and intactness.

Other comparisons not currently in the HO include the adjoining ‘Killamount’ which has a symmetrical form, hipped roof, and double-hung sash windows with multiple lights to the top sash, all typical features of the Interwar Mediterranean, and the single storey house at no. 76, which has a Mediterranean style porch. A more compact and simple version of the style is also seen in the two-storey flats at 40 Creswick Street, Hawthorn, which foregoes the entrance loggia.

Compared to the above examples, this duplex shares with them a symmetrical form, textured render walls, dominant hipped roof, but is notable for the strong massing with the recessed central bay, similar to 168A Mont Albert Road. It also has very elegant details, on par with the flats at 472 Glenferrie Road and 70 Riversdale Road, as well as with single-family homes at 1 Bradford Avenue and 1291 Burke Road. It is distinguished by the elegant loggia and balustraded balconies, and the Serlian mouldings above the ground floor windows. It also remains highly intact.

All of these examples are in Hawthorn. At this time, there are no other known examples of Mediterranean style flats elsewhere in Boroondara. Elsewhere in Melbourne, there are few comparative examples of Mediterranean style interwar flats. Most are found in the Cities of Stonnington and Port Phillip, which between them have the most significant collection of interwar flats in Melbourne. Like Boroondara, Mediterranean style flats mostly date from the late 1920s onwards and are less common than other styles. Examples in the City of Stonnington include ‘Denbigh Court’, 6-8 Denbigh Road (1927, designed by Bates, Smart & McCutcheon, Individual), ‘Coonett’, 371 Dandenong Road (1928, Eric Beedham, Individual within HO136 precinct) and ‘Dulverton’, 379 Toorak Road (1928, designed by F.L. & K. Klingender, Individual, HO171) The style is better represented in the City of Port Phillip ‘Hawsleigh Court’, 2B Hawsleigh Avenue (1928, Hugh Philp, Individual, HO375), ‘Ormond Court’ 1 Glen Huntly Road (c.1925, B.S.W. Gilbertson, Individual, HO8 precinct), ‘Narooma’ 25-27 Gordon Avenue (1927, Individual,

11 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 77 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

HO7 precinct) and several hybrid examples in Wimbledon Avenue (Contributory within HO7 precinct).

The design of this duplex (like the adjoining ‘Killamount’) also demonstrates another strategy employed for the construction of so-called ‘luxury’ flats in well-to-do areas such as Hawthorn and Toorak, which was to give them the appearance of one large residence so as to blend in with the large mansions and villas found in these areas. These were often small blocks of no more than about four flats, contained within a single building with the appearance of a single entrance, and set within a generous garden. This approach is also demonstrated by ‘San Jose’ and ‘Craignethorne’, both cited above.

Assessment Against Criteria

Criteria referred to in Practice Note 1: Applying the Heritage Overlay, Department of Planning and Community Development, 2015, modified for the local context.

CRITERION A: Importance to the course, or pattern, of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (historical significance).

The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn is associated with an important phase in the development of Boroondara during the suburban boom of the interwar period and demonstrates how improvements to public transport encouraged the development of flats, usually situated along, or close to, electric tramlines. However, this is true of almost all extant interwar flats, so on its own this duplex does not satisfy this criterion at the local level.

The duplex is also associated with the process of mansion estate subdivisions that occurred during the 1920s and is notable for the retention of part of the original front fence of the ‘Summerlee’ Mansion, which demonstrates how this property once formed part of the estate prior to subdivision.

CRITERION B: Possession of uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (rarity).

CRITERION C: Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (research potential).

CRITERION D: Importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places or environments (representativeness).

The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road is an intact and well-detailed example of interwar flats in the Interwar Mediterranean style. It demonstrates typical features of this style, including the hipped roof, and symmetrical arrangement adopted from the Georgian Revival, combined with a textured render and elegant classical details seen in the loggias and balcony. It also demonstrates how blocks of flats during the interwar period were designed to appear like one large residence so as to blend into their prestigious suburban setting.

CRITERION E: Importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics (aesthetic significance).

The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road is distinguished by its strong massing and the elegance of its detailing, particularly the elegant loggia and balustraded balconies, and the cast and run applied cement ornament and mouldings. This significance is enhanced by its high degree of intactness.

CRITERION F: Importance in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement at a particular period (technical significance).

CRITERION G: Strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons. This includes the significance of a place to Indigenous peoples as part of their continuing and developing cultural traditions (social significance).

CRITERION H: Special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the City of Boroondara's history (associative significance).

Statement of Significance

What is significant? The duplex, built by 1930 on part of the ‘Summerlee’ estate subdivision, at 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn is significant. It is a two-storey duplex in the Interwar Mediterranean style with textured render walls and a dominant tiled hip roof with deep eaves. The front elevation is symmetrically composed with projecting bays on either side of a recessed central bay, which sits behind a porch with an elegant triple-arch loggia and balustrade above, and there is another smaller balcony with balustrade in the east wall. The timber doors opening on to the porch and balcony are original and each projecting bay has triple sash windows at ground and first floor: the upper windows have a window box, while the lower windows feature Serlian moulding with a fan shaped cartouche. There is one rendered chimney.

Non-original alterations and additions including the garage, the rendered posts on either side of the driveway entrance and the driveway gates are not significant.

How is it significant? The duplex and front fence at 70 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn are of local historic, architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Boroondara.

Why is it significant? The duplex is also associated with the process of mansion estate subdivisions that occurred during the 1920s and is notable for the retention of part of the original front fence of the ‘Summerlee’ Mansion, which demonstrates how this property once formed part of the estate prior to subdivision. (Criterion A)

The duplex at 70 Riversdale Road is an intact and well-detailed example of interwar flats in the Interwar Mediterranean style. It demonstrates typical features of this style,

13 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 79 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

including the hipped roof, and symmetrical arrangement adopted from the Georgian Revival, combined with a textured render and elegant classical details seen in the loggias and balcony. It also demonstrates how blocks of flats during the interwar period were designed to appear like one large residence so as to blend into their prestigious suburban setting. (Criterion D)

Address: 3 Wilson Street, Surrey Hills Name: House Survey Date: 9 June 2015 Place Type: Residential Architect: Grading: Individually Significant Builder: Extent of Overlay: To title boundaries Construction Date: 1889

Historical Context The following contextual history of Surrey Hills and the Blackburn Estate is cited from the place citation for 1 Montrose Street, in the ‘Surrey Hills and Canterbury Hill Estate Heritage Study’, 2013:

Much of what is today known as the suburb of Surrey Hills was taken up as part of Elgar’s Special Survey in 1841, comprising more than 5,000 acres in the parishes of Boroondara and Nunawading. This large area was subsequently broken up for farmland between the 1850s and 1870s. The name ‘Surrey Hills’ was reputedly first used by John H Knipe in his 1878 subdivision just south of Mont Albert Road. … The Boroondara District Road Board was established in July 1854 and by 1860, a number of the major roads that bisect the Parish of Boroondara had been established. The Roads

______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 82 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Board became the Shire of Boroondara in 1871. Soon after, Councillors floated a proposal for the beautification of the district, including planting of street trees.

However, it was the construction of the railway through the eastern suburbs to Lilydale in 1882 which provided the catalyst for more intensive development of the suburb. The name ‘Surrey Hills’ was confirmed with the construction of the Surrey Hills Railway Station, which officially opened on 6 October 1883.

Undeveloped land near the railway was a boon for developers, and the hills, providing views of the surrounding district, were highly marketable. The 1880s saw a boom in real estate prices and land speculation, and the railway line to Surrey Hills heightened the appeal of the increasingly accessible district. Developers and estate agents promoted a suburban lifestyle in the area that was embraced by both middle class and working class purchasers.

The prosperity of the 1880s gave way to a bank and property collapse in the 1890s, prompting a severe economic depression throughout Victoria. Despite the rapid sale of residential estates that had marked the 1880s, by the early 1910s much of Surrey Hills still remained vacant, with the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW) plans from this period showing a number of residential estates occupied with a relatively small number of houses.

… The subject property is situated on land which was subdivided for sale as part of the Blackburn Estate in 1885. This was in the boom period of Surrey Hills’ nineteenth century real estate sales and subdivision. Advertising for the estate was relatively restrained, however, noting only that it was the ‘finest land in the district’, and that the subdivision had been ‘planted with the choicest fruit trees’ (Argus, 14 March 1885:3). … The estate was almost immediately north of the newly opened Surrey Hills station, and east of Union Road.

History The Blackburn Estate comprised 36 allotments bounded by Wilson Street, Union Road, Mont Albert Road and Montrose Street (see Figure 1). The width of the frontages of the new allotments ranged from 60 feet on Blackburn Street to 85 feet for a very shallow block on Montrose Street. The residential allotments along the west side of Wilson Street were among the largest in the subdivision, along with those facing Mont Albert Road, measuring 76 feet wide and 150 feet deep (23.16 x 45.7 m), with one 73 feet wide.

In March 1886, four investors owned the entire Blackburn Estate, as well as the land on the south side of Montrose Street. They were: Joseph Johnson, a gentleman of Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn; Charles Shaw and Thomas Retchford, merchants of Little Collins Street, Melbourne; and Nathaniel Pollard, a draper of Swan Street, Richmond (LV: V1796 F085). They sold five allotments of the Blackburn Estate (Nos. 14-17 & 27) to Andrew Fulton in late March, and the balance to the Melbourne Permanent Building Society in April 1886 (LV: V1796 F085). By the middle of 1889, the building society had sold all of the allotments to individual buyers (LV: V1814 F643).

The property that comprises 3 Wilson Street was allotment 40, measuring 76x152 feet. It was purchased on 26 September, 1887, by Phillip Collins, a butcher of Camberwell Road, Upper Hawthorn (LV: V1950 F866).

Two years later, the Box Hill Reporter ran an article about Surrey Hills, noting: ‘Advance Surrey Hills! There are some very substantial buildings in the course of erection here at present.’ Six houses were mentioned, including two in the English Counties Estate, one in Wandsworth Road, two ‘close to the station’, and the sixth:

Mr. P. Collins has started to build in Wilson-street, Blackburn Estate, and, according to the plans, this will be a very nice building when completed. (Reporter, 8 Aug. 1889:3)

To finance the construction of the house, Collins transferred the title to the Victorian Permanent Building Society from 15 October 1889 to 5 December 1892. By 1892, his residential address was recorded as Lawn Parade, Surrey Hills (LV: V1950 F866), indicating that the Wilson Street house was a rental property. This is borne out by the street directories, which list changing residents through the 1890s.

The second house on Wilson Street (Nos. 11-11A, since demolished) was the home of Albert England. He had purchased allotment 37 in April 1889 and by November of that year it was described as a ‘large commodious weatherboard house’ nearing completion (Reporter, 15 Nov. 1889:3). England and Collins’ houses remained the only ones on the west side of Wilson Street until the 20th century. In the Sands & McDougall’s Melbourne and Suburban Directory for 1900, only eight dwellings (and no shops) had been constructed on the 36 allotments of the Blackburn Estate thus far, apart from the two on Wilson Street, there was one on Union Road, one on Blackburn Street, one on Mont Albert Road, and three on Montrose Street. This is symptomatic of how the economic depression of the 1890s halted development in Surrey Hills (and elsewhere in Victoria) until well into the 20th century.

On 20 July 1900, Collins sold the house to Elizabeth Moses, married woman of 224 Punt Road, Prahran. It appears to have remained a rental property at this time. Mrs Moses had remarried by 1907, and was now called Elizabeth Wilms. The house was transferred several times to members of the Moses and Wilms family, before transferring to a Daphne Farrell in 1938 (LV: V1950 F866).

One of the occupiers during the early years of the twentieth century were Charles Upton Wedge and his wife Marie Josephine Wedge (nee Treacey), who resided there from 1905 to 1918 (Sands & McDougall). Charles Wedge was a man of independent means whose father, Charles Wedge Sr, was a surveyor and a pioneer settler in Victoria, and his mother was from a family of early Box Hill settlers, the Wrightes. After residing in Wilson Street, the Wedges moved to ‘Karralee’ in Whitethorn Road, Balwyn, where he died in 1922 (Surrey Hills Historical Society; Argus 10 June 1922:13).

The property retained its original dimensions until after 2015, comprising the entire Lot 40 of subdivision LP1037. The southern strip of the property, where a 1980s garage once stood, has recently been subdivided. The house has also been doubled in size by two single-storey rear additions of 1975 and 1990 which sit behind the front part of the house, and are linked to it by a rear lean-to (possibly original). This rear addition now has a return verandah to the south and west sides (Building Permit records).

Figure 2. Detail from MMBW Detail Plan No. 2244 of 1910. At the time there were four houses on the west side of Wilson Street and two on the east side. The (eastern half) of 3 Wilson Street is outlined. Note how the house was built along the north boundary, leaving the southern half open.

5 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 86 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Description & Integrity The 1889 house at 3 Wilson Street is set back behind a medium-sized front garden and is built to the north property boundary. A neo-Victorian timber picket fence fronts the property, with remnants of an interwar woven wire fence along the north setback.

The house is single-storey, built of tuckpointed bichrome brick in a Flemish bond, with a slate-clad hip roof. The house retains one elaborately strapped and corbelled chimney with terracotta pots, indicating a transition to the Federation Queen Anne. While the main roof has a valley, giving it a low-line, M-hip roof form, typical of the Italianate style, unusually, the roof terminates above the façade with two gable-ends, creating a symmetrical composition. Each gable has a round louvered vent with a moulded cream- brick surround, scalloped at the bottom, timber bargeboards with lobed ends, and stop- chamfered decorative trusses with a turned pendant. It appears that the finial has been shortened.

Figure 3. Detail of the southern front gable, showing the decorative trusses and louvered vent with moulded cream-brick surround. (Context 2015).

The front wall of the house is symmetrically arranged with a central door and a bank of three double-hung sash windows with highlights on either side. There are bands of cream bricks through the red brick walls and a cream brick plinth. The front door sits among sidelight and highlight windows with leadlights employing cabochons (gems). The highlight window is original, while the sidelights are high-quality reproductions. Below each sidelight is a fluted panel. The architrave to either side of the door mirrors the profile and chamfering of the verandah posts. The five-panel door also has unusually decorative (notched and splayed) chamfering around each panel. The door knob is a replacement.

The skillion-roof verandah sits between two wing walls, suggesting a terrace-house form. Each wing wall has a flat-arched opening with a render sill and curved apron beneath (which echoes the apron beneath the gable vents). At the centre of the verandah, marking the location of the front door, is an ornate aedicule, comprising a gablet with a

6 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 87 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

lobed bargeboard and infilled with a sinuous floral screen. The beam beneath it has notched stop chamfering and a nail-head frieze. It rests on two pairs of slim turned timber posts with scrolled corbels at their heads. There is a ladder frieze of turned timber spindles along the entire verandah, which is in a Japanese-inspired H-pattern beneath the pediment. The central posts and at the wing walls have curved and lobed timber brackets with pierced circles. Between each pair of posts is a timber insert with a pierced sunflower design, suggesting an Aesthetic Movement influence. The simpler ladder frieze to the sides for the central aedicule is a modern reproduction, as are the lobed brackets at the far ends.

The front steps have renewed bullnose slate treads and edging, and the verandah floor tessellated tiles are also reproductions.

Figure 4. Detail of the centre of the verandah with gablet, paired timber posts and unusual pierced timber brackets and central insert (Context 2015).

The side walls are of red brick with round and flat cream-brick arches to the sash windows. The rear lean-to, which now serves as a link between the main part of the

7 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 88 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

house and the rear extension, is of the same materials. A verandah on the south side of the extension is slightly visible from the street.

Comparative Analysis The earliest houses in Surrey Hills, both those already in the Boroondara Heritage Overlay and those proposed for protection in the current Surrey Hills South Residential Precincts Heritage Study, date from 1888-1890. The large majority of these early houses are in the Italianate style. Italianate houses of local significance in the HO range from large two-storey villas (HO190 - 42 Warrigal Road, 1889 & HO409 - 89 Union Road, c1888-90) and substantial single-storey villas (HO415 – 50 Wandsworth Road, 1888 & HO414 – 26A Wandsworth Road, 1889), as well as more modest examples. Three of the previous examples are finished in cement render, and one is brick with sandstone dressings (26A Wandsworth). The two individually significant Italianate houses in the Surrey Hills North Residential Precinct (HO535) are smaller in scale. They are 29 and 33 Guildford Road, both of c1890, and are of rendered brick and timber, respectively.

Of the individually significant early houses in the proposed English Counties Residential Precinct, three out of five are Italianate in style: the timber 37 Essex Road (c1890), the substantial (overpainted) brick 43 Kent Road (1888), and the polychrome brick 13 Norfolk Road (c1888). Among the individual places proposed for the Heritage Overlay, there is the rendered brick Italianate house of 1889 (with a c1914 Federation remodelling) at 26 Weybridge Street, and the two-storey former Surrey College at 17-19A Barton Street. This brick building is largely residential in appearance (apart from its substantial size). It was constructed in two stages: an Italianate section fronting Barton Street, and an 1897 Gothic Revival extension of equal size that faced Union Road and had polychrome brickwork and Japanese-inspired verandah fretwork (verandah since removed and brick overpainted).

8 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 89 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

There are a few exceptions to the dominance of the Italianate in late-19th century Surrey Hills already in the Heritage Overlay, namely 12 Vincent Street (HO413), and 50 Guildford Road (Significant in HO535).

The residential-scale building at 12 Vincent Street was built as a private school c1892. It is Gothic Revival in style, with the lancet windows and gabled roof typical of this style. Walls are of red brick with umber brick dressings. There is decorative timber trusswork in the front gable, and a Japanese patterned timber frieze to the verandah, both of which look ‘stylistically different [from the rest of the building] and may have been added in 1902’. The former school is of historical significance for its school use, and of architectural significance, in part, because it ‘is well-expressed in its external detailing and representation of Gothic form’ (Building citation, Lovell Chen, 2007).

Figure 6. 12 Vincent Street, Surrey Hills of c1892 (HO413). Note the bichrome brickwork, trussed gable end and timber verandah fretwork. (Lovell Chen, 2007)

The c1895 house at 50 Guildford Road is an ‘accomplished’ Queen Anne villa with early Federation characteristics, with a particularly high level of attention to detail. Elements of note listed in the Surrey Hills North Residential Precinct citation include the gable mouldings, the round gable vent, fanlights with fluted brackets, and chimneys with unusual concave cornice soffits and matching curved cornice brackets (Lovell Chen, 2013).

Figure 7. 50 Guildford Road, Surrey Hills of c1895 (Significant in HO535). Note the gabled end, the round louvered vent with a render surround and apron, and timber fretwork and brackets to the verandah. (Lovell Chen, 2013)

Among the Victorian houses assessed as individually significant and proposed for protection in the current Surrey Hills South Residential Precincts Heritage Study, there are two which don’t fit the common Italianate mould (apart from the rear wing of Surrey Hills College). These are both in the English Counties Residential Precinct and constructed c1890 (noted as being two of ‘the earlier buildings in the precinct’). The first, at 20 Essex Road, is a timber house distinguished by the unusual jerkin-head roof to its projecting front bay and its timber verandah frieze with star-shaped cut-outs. The second, at 38 Essex Road, is a brick house (overpainted), also with a projecting bay creating an asymmetrical façade. Here the bay is gabled, with a lobed bargeboard and decorative timber trusses and pendant-finial. Below it is a bay window with three narrow sash windows below highlights. The return verandah has turned timber posts and timber fretwork and brackets. It is noted for its large size and unusual stained and leaded glass windows.

Figure 8. 38 Essex Road, Surrey Hills of c1890. Note the timber truss and pendant-finial to the gabled bay, the configuration of the bay window below it, and the timber verandah details. (Google Streetview)

In comparison with these Surrey Hills houses, the house at 3 Wilson Street is distinguished by its intact polychrome brickwork. In the Heritage Overlay and proposed for it by this study, the only other examples are 13 Norfolk Road, which has fine brickwork but takes a conservative and typical Italianate form, and 12 Vincent Street, which is more restrained in its bichrome brickwork colour and pattern. The house at 3 Wilson Street is also one of the relatively small group of Victorian houses which have timber verandah posts and fretwork, signalling a transition to the Federation Queen Anne, along with 50 Guildford Road and, in the proposed English Counties Precinct, 20 Essex Road and 38 Essex Road. The other examples are much simpler in detail than 3 Wilson Street, and lack the concentration of decorative details seen with the paired posts and gablet at the centre of the verandah.

The 1889 house at 3 Wilson Street is also distinguished among Victorian houses in Surrey Hills as one of the few examples to adopt a style other than the Italianate. As noted above, they include the Gothic Revival 12 Vincent Street, as well as examples demonstrating an early Federation influence at 50 Guildford Road and 38 Essex Street. All three of these comparative examples have a single front gable, as became typical in the Edwardian period, while 3 Wilson Street has a much rarer double-gabled façade. The distinctive oculus window with a scalloped apron is shared by both 50 Guildford Road (executed in render) and 3 Wilson Street (in moulded cream brick).

Further afield, in other Boroondara suburbs, 3 Wilson Street can be compared to other c1890 houses that demonstrate a transition to the Federation Queen Anne style, expressed in most cases by elaborate timber detail to the verandah (often with a Japanese influence), asymmetric massing with a gable-fronted bay (as opposed to the hip-roof projecting bays of the Italianate style), and sometimes partial or full integration of the main roof and the verandah. The houses are all of facebrick, some bichrome brick and others of the plain red brick most typical of the Federation era. Examples include 316 Camberwell Road, Camberwell, by Reed, Tappin & Smart of 1890 (Significant in HO506); 41 Kinkora Road, Hawthorn, by Reed, Tappin & Smart of 1890-91 (HO77); and 7

11 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 92 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Beaconsfield Road, Hawthorn East, of 1890-91 (HO442). All three are quite substantial two-storey villas, with an asymmetric front, and are likely all architect designed. An exception is 125 Wattle Valley Road, Camberwell, of 1892 (HO418). This is a single- storey villa with quite similar massing to 3 Wilson Street: two front projecting front gables set above a verandah with timber posts and fretwork and a central gablet marking the front entrance. While the timber fretwork of 125 Wattle Valley Road is more restrained that that of 3 Wilson Street, it also uses the decorative device of paired posts below the gablet with a pierced insert between them. All of the above examples in Camberwell and Hawthorn are more substantial and sophisticated in their overall design than the more modest, builder-designed 3 Wilson Street, but the verandah detail at 3 Wilson Street is their equal in its visual interest and the very fashionable Aesthetic Movement influence seen in the inserts between the verandah posts.

In the Surrey Hills context, 3 Wilson Street is a very early transitional example demonstrating the transition to the Federation Queen Anne, and one that outshines all others in its overall level of detail, particularly the verandah and gable details. It is rare in Surrey Hills and municipality-wide for its strong symmetrical gabled composition. It is most closely comparable in its detail to the slightly later 50 Guildford Road, which is noted as ‘significant as a Queen Anne style dwelling, with early Federation characteristics’, but is more generous and creative in its detailing.

In addition, 3 Wilson Street has a similar very high level of external intactness to all these examples. It has been extended to the rear, nearly doubling its size, but this extension has a separate roof form from the main house and the same side setbacks and height. As such, it conforms to the current Boroondara Heritage Policy (Clause 22.05) so would be permitted if the house was already in the heritage overlay.

Assessment Against Criteria

Criteria referred to in Practice Note 1: Applying the Heritage Overlay, Department of Planning and Community Development, September 2012, modified for the local context.

CRITERION A: Importance to the course, or pattern, of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (historical significance).

The house at 3 Wilson Street is of historical interest as one of a group of the earliest houses in Surrey Hills, which date to 1888-1890.

CRITERION B: Possession of uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (rarity).

The house at 3 Wilson Street is of interest as a rare example of a Victorian or Federation house with a symmetrical double-gabled front, as seen, for example, at 125 Wattle Valley Road, Camberwell.

CRITERION C: Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (research potential).

N/A

CRITERION D: Importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places or environments (representativeness).

The house at 3 Wilson Street is one of a number of c1890 houses in Surrey Hills and more widely in Boroondara that illustrates the transition from the Victorian Italianate style

12 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 93 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

to the Federation Queen Anne. This is seen in the retention of the low-line M-hip roof of the Italianate, which was seen in many examples until about 1910, paired with gable fronted projecting bays, a strapped and corbelled brick chimney and timber verandah detailing, all typical of the Federation Queen Anne. While most such examples have been attributed to prominent architects of the period, it appears that 3 Wilson Street is a builder-designed illustration of this transition.

CRITERION E: Importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics (aesthetic significance).

The house at 3 Wilson Street is distinguished by its high level of attention to detail, particularly in the Surrey Hills context. Of particular note is the front verandah with an ornate aedicule at its centre, comprising a gablet with a lobed bargeboard and infilled with a sinuous floral screen. The beam beneath it has notched stop chamfering and a nail-head frieze. It rests on two pairs of slim turned timber posts with scrolled corbels are their heads. There is a ladder frieze of turned timber spindles along the entire verandah, which is in a Japanese-inspired H-pattern beneath the pediment. The central posts and at the wing walls have curved and lobed timber brackets with pierced circles. Between each pair of posts is a timber insert with a pierced sunflower design, suggesting an Aesthetic Movement influence. Other details of note include the render aprons below the verandah end-wall openings, the moulded cream-brick surrounds (also with scalloped apron) to the louvered gable vents, the architraves of the front door which mirror the profile and chamfering of the verandah posts, and the unusual splayed and notched chamfering to the five-panelled door. It is also distinguished for its distinctive double- gabled façade form, seen only occasionally in the late Victorian and Federation periods.

CRITERION F: Importance in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement at a particular period (technical significance).

N/A

CRITERION H: Special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the City of Boroondara's history (associative significance).

Statement of Significance

What is Significant? The house at 3 Wilson Street, Surrey Hills, is significant. It was built in 1889 for Phillip Collins, a butcher of Camberwell Road, Upper Hawthorn, and served as a rental property until he sold it in 1900. The house is once of the first group to be built in Surrey Hills, between 1888 and 1892. The 1890s depression then halted virtually all construction until the 20th century.

The house is set behind a medium-sized front garden and is built to the north property boundary, taking a terrace-house form with its front skillion verandah contained by wing walls. Verandah posts and fretwork are of timber. The house is single-storey, built of tuckpointed bichrome (red and cream) brick in a Flemish bond, with a slate-clad hip roof and one elaborately strapped and corbelled chimney with terracotta pots. The main roof has a valley, giving it a low-line, M-hip roof form, while it terminates above the façade with two gables, creating an unusual symmetrical composition. Each gable has a round louvered vent in a cream-brick surround, timber bargeboards with lobed ends, and stop- chamfered decorative trusses with a turned pendant (finial shortened).

The front wall of the house is symmetrically arranged with a central door and a bank of three double-hung sash windows with highlights on either side. The front door has a highlight window with leadlights employing cabochons (gems), and reproduction sidelights.

The house is highly intact externally to its built date, apart from sympathetic restoration work to the verandah (parts of the fretwork, some brackets, floor tiles and bluestone nosing and steps). It was doubled in size by a recessive single-storey rear extension of 1975 and 1990 which sits beneath a separate roof form and is not significant. The timber picket front fence is sympathetic in appearance, but not original.

How is it significant? The house at 3 Wilson Street is of local architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Boroondara.

Why is it significant? Architecturally, it is one of a number of c1890 houses in Boroondara that illustrates the transition from the Victorian Italianate style to the Federation Queen Anne. This is seen in the retention of the low-line M-hip roof of the Italianate, which was seen in many examples until about 1910, paired with gable fronted projecting bays, a strapped and corbelled brick chimney and timber verandah detailing, all typical of the Federation Queen Anne. While most such examples have been attributed to prominent architects of the period, it appears that 3 Wilson Street is a builder-designed illustration of this transition. (Criterion D)

Aesthetically, it is distinguished by its high level of attention to detail, particularly in the Surrey Hills context. Of particular note is the front verandah with an ornate aedicule at its centre, comprising a gablet with a lobed bargeboard and infilled with a sinuous floral screen. The beam beneath it has notched stop chamfering and a nail-head frieze. It rests on two pairs of slim turned timber posts with scrolled corbels are their heads. There is a ladder frieze of turned timber spindles along the entire verandah, which is in a Japanese- inspired H-pattern beneath the pediment. The central posts and at the wing walls have curved and lobed timber brackets with pierced circles. Between each pair of posts is a timber insert with a pierced sunflower design, suggesting an Aesthetic Movement influence. Other details of note include the render aprons below the verandah end-wall openings, the moulded cream-brick surrounds (also with scalloped apron) to the louvered gable vents, the architraves of the front door which mirror the profile and chamfering of

14 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 95 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

the verandah posts, and the unusual splayed and notched chamfering to the five- panelled door. It is also distinguished for its distinctive double-gabled façade form, seen only occasionally in the late Victorian and Federation periods. (Criterion E)

Historical Context Access across the Yarra River was provided in the early 1850s by a bridge to Burwood Road, Hawthorn.

Hawthorn thus developed ahead of Kew. Nevertheless, two hotels had opened in Kew along High Street by 1854, one at the junction and the other, the Harp of Erin, at the corner of High Street and Harp Road. Congregational, Baptist, Primitive Methodist and Anglican churches were opened in 1854, 1855, 1856 and 1858 respectively. The Anglican church opened a school in 1856 and the combined Protestant churches opened one in 1859. It was replaced by a government school in 1870. Direct access to Kew was gained when the Johnston Street bridge was

1 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 97 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

built in 1858… In 1856 the Boroondara Road Board District, comprising Kew, Hawthorn and Camberwell, was proclaimed…

[In the twentieth century] High Street developed two strip shopping centres, the main one east of Kew junction and the other near the Harp Hotel...Between 1910 and the outbreak of World War II Kew's population approximately tripled. It was proclaimed a town on 8 December 1910, and a city on 10 March 1921 (Victorian Places 2015).

Residential development in Kew followed a similar pattern:

The first residential houses were built in Kew during the 1850s around the area now known as the Kew Junction. Speculation on land purchases increased during the gold rush period, promoting the region's rapid expansion not only as a farming area but as a residential location, a trading place and a stopover for travellers. By 1902 Kew had more than 8,000 residents and 1,500 dwellings. The charm of Kew was its undulating character and the windings of the Yarra River, which formed its northern and western boundaries, and the extensive views it enjoyed in almost every direction…Kew was a suburb of British expatriates who built their homes and gardens to replicate those left behind. Many of the villas and mansions commanding views back over the city were set in acres of land. Some were named after the birthplace of their owners (Carolan 2003:3).

Subdivision of land to form residential estates in the Kew area occurred from the 1860s, slowed with the economic depression of the 1890s, and experienced an intensive boom between 1910 and 1940, when ‘new estates began to appear. Most were of a modest scale, and usually resulted in small courts or short streets bisecting former grounds of large houses’ (CKUCS:4/20).

Place History The subject place, 15 Victor Avenue, is part of a parcel of land, Portion 84, Parish Boroondara, approximately 146 acres, first held freehold by CB Peel and A Motherwell (Parish Plan Boroondara 1931).

In November 1926, Elizabeth Foster purchased three acres of this land (CT:V5196 F189). Bennett Nursery operated on the land until 1936, when it was subdivided as the Mont Victor Hill Estate (CKUCS:4/20).

A preliminary plan for the Mont Victor Hill subdivision included 23 allotments bordering the Rimington Nursery in Mont Victor Road. The subdivision created allotments in Victor Avenue, Heather Grove and Burke Road and was bisected by the railway line (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

The auctioneers noted on the plan that the subdivision was made possible by the order of Messrs SH Bennet & H Wright, the executors of the wills of S Bennett & E Foreman (KHS). The first lots were put up for auction on 7 March 1936 (Argus 15 February 1936:3), and were all sold. Another five allotments to the north of the estate (towards Argyle Road), including the subject site, Lot 14, were advertised for sale on 9 March 1936 (Age 9 March 1936:2) – see Figure 3. The additional five lots added to the estate were sold by 1941 (CT:V5196 F189).

Figure 3. Mont Victor Hill Estate showing all lots, including the subject site, Lot 14, 1936. (Source Certificate of title V5196 F189)

On 6 March 1939, Lot 14 (today’s 15 Victor Avenue) was purchased by Ann Flora Rylah (CT:V5196 F189).

Ann Rylah (nee Flashman) married Arthur Rylah in 1937. The couple employed architects and engineers, RM and MH King of Collins Street, Melbourne, to design a combined brick house and veterinary hospital for their Victor Avenue property, which was constructed by builder W. Davis in 1939 (BP261, 1939) – see Figure 4 and Figure 5. Arthur and Ann Rylah separated in 1968, however Ann Rylah continued to conduct her veterinary business from 15 Victor Avenue until her death in 1969. The house at 15 Victor Avenue was sold to new owners in the same year (CT:V5196 F189).

R.M. and M.H. King Ray Maurice King began practicing as an architect in Adelaide in 1891. The following year he moved to Melbourne and over the next sixty years he and his son, Maurice Harrington King, who he went into partnership with in 1926, designed many industrial and residential buildings in Victoria. Maurice, who was trained as an engineer, is regarded as having transformed the fledgling practice established by his father into one of Melbourne’s most prolific architectural firms of the mid-twentieth century (Kurrajong House website).

Although the firm designed a range of buildings including commercial (e.g., Kurrajong House, Collins Street, Melbourne of 1926-7, and the showroom for the Colonial Gas Company at Box Hill), factories (e.g., the Hopkins Odlum Apex Belting factory at Footscray) and churches (e.g., Knox Presbyterian Church, Ivanhoe of 1927), they are perhaps best known for their houses. R.M. & M.H. King designed many houses in the Tudor Revival, Mediterranean and Bungalow styles that were popular in the 1920s and

4 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 100 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

30s, however their Moderne, or Art Deco, houses of the 1930s are regarded as some of the best examples of this style in Melbourne (Kurrajong House website).

Many of the firm’s clients were high profile Victorians including theatrical entrepreneurs J. & N. Tait, Arthur Rylah, lawyer and later Chief Secretary and Deputy Premier of Victoria; the Myttons and Beaurepaires. Ray King died in the early 1950s. Maurice King died prematurely in 1956 and the practice was closed shortly afterwards (Kurrajong House website).

Robin Giesecke, from the University of Sydney, writes of Ann Flashman:

Ann Flora Flashman was, in 1930, the first woman to enrol in the Sydney University School of Veterinary Science [see Figure 6]. She became the fourth woman to qualify and enter the veterinary profession in Australia. Her enrolment encouraged other women to train as veterinarians.

A Sydney girl, Ann was educated at the Ascham School for Girls, matriculating in 1929. She had developed a passion for Girl Guiding and was the popular leader of the School's own company. She was also a keen sportswoman and had developed an interest in journalism. She enrolled at Sydney University in 1930, having been influenced to the possibility of doing veterinary science by the mother of Pat Littlejohn, (the second woman to enrol at Sydney Veterinary Faculty). The School had close connections with the University and a headmistress who was a good educator and alive to the possibility of women pursuing professional careers.

Ann proved a popular student at University…Her final year essay on duodenal ulcers in dogs was published in the Australian Veterinary Journal, and she was awarded the STD Symons prize for clinical subjects. Final year practical work was undertaken at the Berri Experimental Farm chaperoned by Pat Littlejohn and she graduated in 1936…

On graduation Ann joined the staff of the Lost Dog's Home in North Melbourne as its first paid veterinarian, following the footsteps of Belle Reid who had worked there in an honorary capacity. She also worked for the Lord [Lort] Smith Animal Hospital in North Melbourne until she set up her own practice in Victor Street [Avenue], Kew.

She married Arthur Rylah, who held a prominent position in the Victorian Government, and was his official partner and hostess. They had two children. In her own right she earned the respect of her colleagues and amassed a devoted following of animal lovers in Victoria through her tireless devotion to caring for animals and young people. She wrote a column called Pet Talk in the Melbourne Herald under the pseudonym

6 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 102 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

John Wotherspoon…These columns ran well in to the 1960s and were followed by two books: The Australian Pet Book (1962) and The Australian Dog Book (1971)…

As a Girl Guide leader she was captain of the 4th Yarra Company, Division Commissioner, North Eastern Suburbs, Captain of the First Melbourne Cadet Company and District Commissioner, Northcote. From 1962 to 1967 she was Senior Branch Adviser for Victoria; in 1968 she held the post of Lieutenant of the 4th South Yarra Company and Training Adviser for Victoria. She wrote (as Ann Rylah), `Australian Adventure. Girl guiding under the Southern Cross' (published in Sydney 1967) as a definitive handbook for Girl Guides.

Ann was a keen member of and contributor to the Victorian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association and was its Vice President when she died from a cerebral haemorrhage on 15 March 1969 (Giesecke 2002).

The Australian Dictionary of Biography contains this entry for Arthur Rylah (see Figure 7):

Sir Arthur Gordon Rylah (1909-1974), politician and solicitor, was born on 3 October 1909 at Kew, Melbourne, son of Walter Robert Rylah, a Victorian-born solicitor, and his wife Helen Isabel, née Webb, who came from New Zealand. Arthur was educated at Trinity Grammar School and the University of Melbourne (B.A., 1931; LL.B., 1932). Admitted to practice as a barrister and solicitor on 2 May 1934, he joined the family firm of Rylah & Anderson (later Rylah & Rylah). At Holy Trinity Church, Kew, on 10 September 1937 he married…Ann Flora Froude Flashman, a veterinary surgeon.

In 1931 Rylah had been commissioned in the Militia. On 1 May 1940 he was appointed temporary major (substantive in November), Australian Imperial Force…After his A.I.F. appointment terminated in Melbourne on 30 January 1946, he returned to the law and joined the newly formed Liberal Party…He was elected to

7 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 103 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

parliament [for the seat of Kew in the Legislative Assembly] at a by-election on 17 December 1949…

The split in the Australian Labor Party in 1955 destroyed the government of John Cain. On 7 June Rylah was appointed deputy-premier, chief secretary and government leader in the Legislative Assembly. Next day he was also appointed attorney-general. Over the ensuing years he rose to all these challenges and became the government's most active and successful minister…

Rylah gave whole-hearted support and loyalty to the premier, [Henry] Bolte, who confidently left the administrative details of government to his deputy. 'A humane and liberal man', Rylah was a genuine social reformer. Yet, at times, he adopted a reactionary stance. His attitudes to censorship were regarded by many as repressive, and his remark in 1964 that he would not allow his 'teenage daughter' to read Mary McCarthy's novel, The Group (London, 1963), became notorious. His commitment to penal reform was compromised in 1967 when he supported the hanging of Ronald Ryan. He was appointed C.M.G. in 1965 and K.B.E. in 1968.

The last years of Rylah's political career were dogged by controversy. In 1967-68 he was criticised in parliament for joining the boards of Easywear (Australia) Pty Ltd and Avis Rent-A-Car System Pty Ltd. Although Bolte vigorously defended him, Rylah resigned from the boards. Separating from his wife in 1968, he moved to his property, Laurieton, at Mount Macedon…On 9 October [1969] at the Scots Kirk, Mosman, Sydney, Rylah married Norma Alison ('Ruth') Reiner, née French, a 43-year-old secretary and a divorcee.

After announcing on 2 February 1971 that he intended to resign from parliament in the following month, Sir Arthur collapsed at his desk on 5 March and spent the next four months in hospital…Survived by his wife, and by the daughter and son of his first marriage, he died of a cerebral thrombosis on 20 September 1974 at St Vincent's Private Hospital, Fitzroy. He was accorded a state funeral and was cremated with Anglican rites (Costar 2002).

Additions were made to the house at 15 Victor Avenue, Kew, in 1970 and a new garage was built in 1980 (BP1783, 1979; BP8407, 1980).

8 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 104 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Description & Integrity 15 Victor Avenue sits on the west side of Victor Avenue, a short street in the northern part of Kew. It is a large, almost square block of land, and the large house sits in the south-west corner of the site, leaving a generous front garden setback and a very large garden comprising the northern half of the site.

The house is a large two-storey face brick dwelling. It has a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof covered in slates. Stylistically, it merges Georgian Revival and Old English forms and details. The brickwork appears to be quite complex, with a variety of patterns and sizes to create various textures, vents, bands and quoining to corners and openings, all of which is obscured by overpainting. Details in the northern gable are particularly interesting, including a chequerboard pattern and arched attic vent. There are two front entries: the front door to the residence in the centre of the front façade, and the former entry to the veterinary surgery at the south end of the front façade.

Figure 8. Front façade of the former Rylah Residence. The entrance to the residence is at the centre of the façade, while the former veterinary surgery entrance is at far left (only the steps leading to it are visible). (Source: Marshall White, 2011)

The Old English influence is seen in the very steeply gabled roof, the scalloped bargeboards to the gable ends, the large chimneys with a dog-tooth detail at the top, and the fine oriel window in the front gable. This window has a steep pointed roof and a complex moulded base. The Georgian Revival influence is indicated by the multi-paned French windows to the ground and first floor levels of the front façade, the louvered timber shutters to the first-floor windows, the round balconette beside these windows, and the brick dentils beneath the eaves.

The site has undergone a few changes since 1939, as documented by the City of Kew building permit records. In 1970 (BP 1783/1970) a single-storey pergola was built, wrapping around the north-west corner of the house. This work included the introduction of sliding doors to the new deck. The small lean-to the rear (north-west corner) which originally housed a tool room was also demolished and a small extension appended in its

9 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 105 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

place to create a large family room. In addition, the rear chimney was demolished as part of these works.

Figure 9. North side elevation of the former Rylah Residence. (Source: Marshall White, 2011)

In 1979 the original garage that stood just behind the house on the south side was demolished, and replaced by a larger garage in the south-west corner of the site (BP 8230/1979 & 8407/1980). It appears that the Dog’s Yard and Dog’s Hospital (a two-tiered room of kennels) were also demolished at the same time.

At an unknown date, the low masonry front fence, with its curved gateways, was replaced with the present high rendered masonry fence which somewhat obscures views of the house. In addition, it appears that a simple timber hood has been added above the main front entry. The slate roof has been renewed, in kind, between 2011 and 2017. As noted above, the overpainting of the brickwork is one of the most visually intrusive alterations to the house, obscuring its fine detail. Removing this paint by gentle means would greatly increase appreciation of its design.

Comparative Analysis Other known designs by architectural practice R.M. & M.H. King in Boroondara are:

- 35 Balwyn Road, Canterbury, of 1931-2 (Significant in HO264), a large two-storey Georgian Revival house with rendered walls and a very tall tiled hipped roof.

Figure 10. 35 Balwyn Road. (Source: City of Boroondara, 2006)

- Narooma, 21 Balwyn Road, Canterbury, of 1932 (Contributory in HO264), an attic- storey Old English/Tudor Revival dwelling with half-timbered walls (overpainted) and a tiled roof.

Figure 11. 21 Balwyn Road. (Source: City of Boroondara, 2006)

Other known residential designs by architects R.M. & M.H. King in other Melbourne suburbs include:

- 15 Levien Street, Essendon, of 1935 (HO67), a two-storey rendered Moderne house. - 392 & 394 Glenferrie Road, Malvern, of 1935-6 (HO455), a two-storey cream-brick duplex in the Moderne style. - 9 Redcourt Avenue, Armadale, of 1937 (Significant in HO384), a two-storey Streamlined Moderne villa with a hipped roof, one curved corner (with parapet), render and brown brick walls. - 500 Orrong Road, Armadale, of 1937 (Significant in HO384), a rectilinear two-storey Moderne villa with a complex hipped roof, and walls of cream bricks above a brown-brick base. Front entry beneath a cantilevered concrete slab.

11 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 107 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

- 38 Ormond Road, Elwood, of c1938-9 (Significant in HO8), an International Style block of flats with a picturesque stepped form and wide eaves. - Coronal, 9 Lewes Drive, Malvern East (HO322), a two-storey house (formerly flats) in the Spanish Mission style, designed in 1939 as the conversion of a Victorian era mansion into flats.

Among these comparative examples, the 1932 Old English house 21 Balwyn Road is the most similar stylistically, but a more modest building in scale and execution. It exhibits the more decorative half-timbering finish to the gables, which was commonly seen on the earlier Old English houses. In contrast, 15 Victor Avenue has plain brick walls with more subtle brick accents, indicative of the simplification of decoration and forms seen at the end of the interwar period. It is far more imposing than picturesque.

Often referred to as Tudor, interwar Old English had its roots in the English Arts and Craft Movement of the mid to late nineteenth century. The revival of this style, along with many other English and American revival styles became popular with the upper end of the housing market. With its proximity to public transit, Camberwell established itself as a prime location for the new professional of the 1920s and ‘30s, where owners had the means to adopt emerging styles and create homes that reflected their ideals and allowed the display of wealth through such ostentatious revival styles.

The use of red or clinker brick was typical of Old English architecture. Brick nogging or half timbering in gables of upper storeys, modelled chimneys and terracotta roof tiles were also typical. Steeply pitched gable roofs were preferred over hipped, though it was common later in the period to have more eclectic examples. Picturesque asymmetry was pursued with multiple fronts and offset massing.

Old English styled houses evoked the ‘Home country’ in the British Empire, using the associations of the manor to convey wealth and social status. The movement gained much momentum in the 1930s as the ‘bungalow’ and ‘Spanish Mission’ styles began to fade in popularity.

Other Individually Significant Old English/Tudor Revival houses in Boroondara include:

- 92 Mont Albert Road, Canterbury (VHR H1399) of 1926. One of the earliest and most notable examples of the style, designed by architect Marcus Barlow. A large and very influential early example of Tudor Revival. The ground floor is of face brick with half-timbering to the attic storey. - 2 Daracombe Avenue, Kew (HO293) of 1926. An early and substantial example of the style. Walls are of brick with half-timbering and hung tiles in the gables. - 458 Camberwell Road, Camberwell (HO373) of 1933. A two-storey brick house with fachwerk to one gable (half-timbering with brick nogging) and steeply pitched gables. - 19, 21, 23 & 25 Howard Street (in HO528), built 1934-36. No. 21 is a two-storey brick house with minor half-timbered accents. The remaining three are attic- storey dwellings with extensive half-timbering to No. 19, and only face brick with a jerkin-head gable to No. 23. - 7 Glenroy Road, Hawthorn (HO450) of 1935-36. A two-storey flats brick building designed to look like a single house. The walls are of clinker brick with tapestry and herringbone brick accents, and one half-timbered gable. - 12 Tara Avenue, Kew (HO348) of c1938. A two-storey brick house with a transverse gable roof. The walls are mainly of clinker brick with render to the first- floor façade. The main decorative elements are the tall, corbelled chimneys. - 75 Studley Park Road, Kew (HO346) of 1938. A large two-storey house with clinker brick walls and simple fachwerk to gables. Designed by architects Marsh & Michaelson.

12 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 108 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

- 660 Riversdale Road, Camberwell (HO402) of 1938. A large two-storey brick dwelling with a fachwerk gable. Considered conventional in its planning and detail, but distinguished for vivid tapestry brick. - 7 Muriel Street, Glen Iris (HO398) of c1940. Designed by architect Harold Desbrowe Annear. A large two-storey house with half-timbered walls, a jettied first floor and a double gable.

In its simplified materiality and details, 15 Victor Avenue compares most closely with the 21 Howard Street, 12 Tara Avenue, Kew, and 75 Studley Park Road, Kew. The relative simplicity of surface finishes (i.e., no half-timbering) is related to the more austere Georgian Revival stylistic influence evident at 15 Victor Avenue. Its substantial size is comparable to that of the larger comparative houses in the HO, such as 12 Tara Avenue, 75 Studley Park Road, and 660 Riversdale Road.

Overall, a substantial example of the late Old English style, incorporating typical details such as steeply pitched gables, detailed brickwork and a picturesque oriel window to the façade. It also demonstrates a transition to the more formal Georgian Revival, which was most popular in the early 1940s, resulting in a more restrained composition than seen in most Old English dwellings.

Assessment Against Criteria

Criteria referred to in Practice Note 1: Applying the Heritage Overlay, Department of Planning and Community Development, September 2012, modified for the local context.

CRITERION A: Importance to the course, or pattern, of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (historical significance).

CRITERION B: Possession of uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (rarity).

CRITERION C: Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the City of Boroondara's cultural or natural history (research potential).

CRITERION D: Importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places or environments (representativeness).

The former Rylah House is a substantial example of the late Old English style, incorporating typical details such as steeply pitched gables, corbelled chimneys, detailed brickwork and a picturesque oriel window to the façade. It also demonstrates a transition to the more formal Georgian Revival, which was most popular in the early 1940s, resulting in a more restrained composition than seen in most Old English dwellings.

CRITERION E: Importance in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics (aesthetic significance).

CRITERION F: Importance in demonstrating a high degree of creative or technical achievement at a particular period (technical significance).

CRITERION H: Special association with the life or works of a person, or group of persons, of importance in the City of Boroondara's history (associative significance).

The former Rylah House and Veterinary Surgery has special associations with two people of importance: Arthur Rylah and his wife Ann Rylah nee Flashman, who had the house built shortly after their marriage in 1937. Ann Rylah was not only a pioneer woman veterinary surgeon, but unusually continued to work throughout her marriage. The house reflected this, incorporating both the couple’s private residence but also extensive facilities for Ann Rylah’s veterinary clinic.

14 ______City of Boroondara Item5 Page 110 of 114 ______Council Meeting Minutes 26/02/18

Sir Arthur Rylah was a barrister and elected to the Victorian Parliament in 1949 for the seat of Kew. In 1955 he was appointed deputy-premier under Harold Bolte, chief secretary, government leader and attorney-general of Victoria. Rylah was considered a humane and liberal man and social reformer, though as attorney-general supported the hanging of Ronald Ryan in 1967. He retired in 1971.

Ann Rylah, nee Flashman, was the first woman to enrol in the Sydney University School of Veterinary Science, and the fourth woman to qualify and enter the veterinary profession in Australia. After working for the Lost Dog’s Home and Lort Smith Animal Hospital, she opened her own practice in the new 15 Victor Avenue house. She wrote newspaper columns and books about animals, was a Girl Guides leader, and Vice President of the Victorian Division of the Australian Veterinary Association.

Statement of Significance

What is Significant? The former Rylah Residence and Veterinary Hospital at 15 Victor Avenue, Kew, is significant. It was designed in 1939 by architectural practice RM & MH King for newlyweds Arthur Rylah and Ann Rylah nee Flashman. They remained in residence until the late 1960s, and Ann Rylah continued to run her veterinary hospital in the southern half of the house until 1968.

The house is a large two-storey face brick dwelling, with a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof covered in slates. It has a large garden on the north side, necessitated by the shallow allotment.

The masonry front fence, 1980 garage, and other alterations that post-date the Rylahs’ occupation are not significant. In particular, the overpainting of the external brick walls is not significant and visually intrusive, as it obscures the various colours and patterns of the brickwork, which was an important part of the house’s design.

How is it significant? The former Rylah Residence and Veterinary Hospital is of architectural and historical (associational) significance to the City of Boroondara.

Why is it significant? Architecturally, it is a representative example of the substantial dwellings constructed in Kew and other Boroondara suburbs in the late interwar period. Largely Old English in style, with steeply pitched gables and a picturesque oriel window, it also shows the more formal influence of the Georgian Revival, which was most popular in the early 1940s, resulting in a more restrained composition than seen in most Old English dwellings. (Criterion D)

Historically, it has special associations with two people of importance in Boroondara: Sir Arthur Rylah and his wife Ann Rylah nee Flashman, who had the house built shortly after their marriage in 1937. From 1949 to 1971 Arthur Rylah represented the seat of Kew in the lower house of the Victorian Parliament, and was vice-premier and attorney-general under Henry Bolte. Ann Rylah was not only a pioneer woman veterinary surgeon, but unusually continued to work throughout her marriage. The house reflected this, incorporating both the couple’s private residence but also extensive facilities for Ann Rylah’s veterinary clinic, the location of which is indicated by the second front entrance on the south side of the house. (Criterion H)
