57, Richmond Place

57 Richmond Place is a detached house dating from around 1830. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof. The house is square in plan, featuring a central stack and a later ashlar wing added to the rear left corner. The front elevation is two storeys high, with a tall plinth and a two-window by two-window facade. The ground floor has four-pane sashes with louvred shutters, sheltered by a wooden glazed verandah with a pent roof supported by a slim timber colonnade featuring ogee-arched heads. A plain timber balustrade fronts the verandah. The first floor has smaller four-pane sashes. The hipped roof has deep eaves and a central ashlar stack with weathering and six patent pots. A rear wing has a single window with four-pane sashes and a single-pitched roof. The rear elevation is not visible. The interior remains uninspected. The property includes an ashlar front wall with piers topped with ball finials, and a pair of wrought iron gates with three tiers of spearhead finials. Historically, the house represents a transitional late Georgian villa, exhibiting the introduction of Italianate features, most notably in the eaves, and is distinguished by its unusually elaborate verandah.
