| Last updated on - July 1, 1999 HISTORIC BUILDINGS COUNCIL - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: THE BELMONT FLATS WERE BUILT IN 1923 TO THE DESIGN OF RICHARDSON AND WOOD, ARCHITECTS. IT IS LIKELY THAT FRANK G RICHARDSON WAS THE DESIGNER RESPONSIBLE IN THE FIRM AS HE WAS AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WITH HIS WIFE AND SO AND HM CATTLIN. GLADYS SYLVIA RICHARDSON IS RATED AS THE OWNER UNTIL 1961. THE BELMONT FLATS HAVE ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY AND ESSENTIALLY INTACT INTERPRETATION OF THE ENGLISH ARTS AND CRAFTS TRADITION. THIS MELBOURNE BUILDING IS CONTEMPORARY WITH AMERICAN EXPLORATION OF THIS TRADITION AND SHOWS THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPING CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW STYLE.. 2. THE USE OF THIS STYLE, COMMONLY RESERVED FOR GRAND RESIDENCES, IS UNUSUAL FOR FLATS. IT REPRESENTS AN ATTEMPT BY THE ARCHITECT OWNER TO AVOID THE DUBIOUS REPUTATION OF THE FLAT GENRE IN ST KILDA AFTER WORLD WAR I. 3. THIS BUILDING IS A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE OF PURPOSE BUILT FLATS FROM A TIME WHEN FLATS WERE OFTEN CONVERSONS FROM REDUNDANT LARGE SUBURBAN HOUSES. 4. THE BELMONT FLATS ARE A REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE OF THE WORK OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM RICHARDSON AND WOOD. THE BUILDING WAS ALSO THE HOME OF FRANK G RICHARDSON, A PARTNER IN THE FIRM. |
