Precinct Heritage Studies

10 Dover Street

A proposed Heritage Item

Built in 1890, this house was financed by Ninian Melville, a well-known Ashfield mortician who subsequently became the Mayor of Ashfield.

15 John Street

Proposed Heritage Item

This is one of a fine pair of Victorian Italianate/Filigree houses which make an effective contribution to the streetscape despite some modification. Buildings of this period are now comparatively rare. They are associated with a prominent and influential citizen of Ashfield and demonstrate the prosperous period of speculative residential building, which preceded the great depression of 1893.

Federal-Fyle Heritage Conservation Area

85 Holborrow Street

Proposed Heritage Item

The architectural style of this house belongs to Federation Queen Anne. It has unusual detail and embellishment that makes it a distinctive property. The design is the work of a talented speculative builder.

10 Hanks Street

Proposed Heritage Item

One of Ashfield’s most authentic and attractive Federation period Queen Anne houses. In immaculate and original condition, it demonstrates an important phase in Ashfield’s history.
