| The house at 48 Swanston Street, Geelong, has significance as part of an unusual set of four intact Late Victorian Italianate styled timber houses. Built in 1902 as part of a speculative development for Thomas Clarke, farmer, the house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street. The house at 48 Swanston Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of an intact Late Victorian Italianate style. These qualities include the hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the conical bay window and hipped bullnosed verandah that project towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the asymmetrical composition, single storey height, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated steel roof cladding, narrow eaves with worked timber brackets and panelling, three rendered brick chimneys with projecting corniced tops, projecting gabled verandah portico, turned verandah timber columns, decorative framed timber fretwork valances including the arched valance within the verandah portico, timber framed double hung windows, moulded timber window architraves, timber window label moulds, and the front timber framed doorway with sidelights and highlights, and the turned finials surmounting the projecting bay and verandah portico. The framed timber picket fence also contributes to the significance of the place. The significance of the dwelling also relies on the retention of the neighbouring three houses of identical design and construction. The house at 48 Swanston Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Geelong in the late 19th century. In particular, this house has associations with Thomas Clarke, farmer of Drysdale, who instigated construction of this house in 1902 as part of speculative development of four houses in Swanston Street. Overall, the house at 48 Swanston Street is of LOCAL significance. REFERENCES: Reports and Drainage Plans, Barwon Water profis system, 1983.
