| C Listed - Local Significance STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The house at 5 Verner Street, Geelong, has significance as a reasonably intact example of the Late Victorian Italianate style that is unusual for Geelong, particularly with the timber joinery wall cladding simulating ashlar masonry. This house was built in 1891-92 and is in good condition when viewed from the street. The house at 5 Verner Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although slightly altered, the house still demonstrates original design qualities of a Late Victorian Italianate style. These qualities include the recessed hipped roof form, together with a projecting conical bay and flat roofed arcuated loggia, which project towards the street frontage, bullnosed return verandah, and the rear hipped roofed wings that project at the sides. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the timber joinery wall cladding simulating ashlar masonry, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding for the side and rear walls, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, four rendered brick chimneys with projecting cornices, narrow eaves with paired decorative timber brackets and paterae between, arched window openings on the projecting bay and loggia that also have moulded stringcourses and rectangular panelling, timber framed double hung windows, timber framed doorways, timber and glazed side door, cast iron finials and the timber verandah columns. The house at 5 Verner Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Geelong in the late 19th century. In particular the house has associations with Edgar Julien, saddler and original owner, who had it built in 1891-92. It remained in Julien's ownership for many years until the 1940s. Overall, the house at 5 Verner Street is of LOCAL significance. REFERENCES: Drainage Plans and Reports, 1920, 1960, Barwon Water Profis System, City of Greater Geelong.
