| The house at 27 Swanston Street, Geelong, has significance as a moderately intact example of the Victorian style. Built in 1888 to a design by the Geelong architect A.J. Derrick for F.E. Matthews, the house has experienced some alterations but appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street. The house at 27 Swanston Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although altered, it still demonstrates original design qualities of the Victorian style. These qualities include the main hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the rear hipped roof forms that project or recede at the sides and the return bullnosed verandah that encircles the front the house. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the predominantly symmetrical composition, single storey height, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated steel roof cladding, narrow eaves with paired timber brackets and decorative panels between, rendered chimneys with projecting cornices, central timber framed doorway and flanking timber framed double hung tripartite windows, other timber framed double hung windows, and the sidelights to the front doorway. The front timber picket fence also contributes to the significance of the place. The house at 27 Swanston Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Geelong in the second half of the 19th century. In particular, this house has associations with F.E. Matthews, original owner who instigated construction in 1888. The house also has associations with the Geelong architect, A.J. Derrick. Overall, the house at 27 Swanston Street is of LOCAL significance. REFERENCE Reports and Drainage Plans, Barwon Water profis system, 1950.
