Attachment 6 Name: Coles G J & Co Ld, Fancy Goods & Drapers, Collingwood store former Address: 170-172 Smith Street, Collingwood Heritage Overlay Area: HO333 Estimated date range: 1939 Value 2007: individually significant Property Number: 100325 History This site was sold by Charles Hutton to Alex Grant in 1853 for ₤660. Grant sold the rear part of the site to William Landell in May and mortgaged the Smith St (then Heidelberg Road) frontage for a massive ₤2000 (over ₤69,000 in 2001 values). The 1854 mortgage memorial states that a `messuage tenement or dwelling house' had been erected on the land by Alexander Grant. This indicates that a substantial building was on the site. A series of mortgages led to the hotel's licensee, Thomas McVea, having an interest in the property by 1857. The Melbourne Roll Plan of 1858 shows `Clark's Hotel' on this site as a large masonry building. An image of Mac's hotel (132) and George Caudle's drapery shop (130) from c1861-2 shows a 3 storey parapeted hotel with 7 window bays, two of which are the shop at `130'. The 1859 and 1861 `Melbourne Directory' lists Alexandrina McVea as the licensee. Her name is also on notice in the transom window. The image shows that, although part of the hotel building, 168 Smith St was never used as Mac's Hotel but instead as an adjoining shop. The building at 170-172 occupies the site of the rest of the Mac's Hotel building. Isaac White, Licensed Victualler, was the occupier of a stone Hotel of 20 rooms in 1866, sited on land owned by Thomas Aitken (170-172). Aitken also owned a stone shop of three rooms adjoining (168). Patrick Keppell was the licensee in the 1870s when the rate description was `Mac's Hotel'; Mary Mahoney, Martin Pasqueau, Charles Benson, Elizabeth Glover, Catherine Stevens, Mary Ann Dabron, Heffernan and Samuel Goodman were hoteliers there from the 19th century. A trustee of Thomas Aitken's estate, Archibald Aitken, and the building firm, James Nation or James Nation & Son, were later owners. George Gaudle's drapery shop remained so into the mid 1880s, as a `stone shop'. Esdaile, a pastry cook at 168, and William Lawrence, a dyer at 170, took over 168-170 Smith St, with `brick shop' rated in 1888 for each at ₤240 AV compared to ₤130 for the previous single `stone shop' at 168: changes must have been made. Similarly the hotel changes from 170-172 to 172 only (where the cellar was), to accommodate the new shop, and the NAV rises from ₤200 in 1887 to ₤300 in 1890. The rated value declines to ₤180 by c1895 and the shops to ₤210: the shops reflect the deflationary effects of the 1890s Depression but the hotel value drop is greater (should have been 80% based on the relative value of pound). Attachment 6 The 1899 MMBW Detail Plan shows `Mac's Hotel' as 170-172, with a cellar under the north front wing. A service wing extends down the north side. the shop at 168 has a similar wing down the south side of the lot with a stable at the east end, accessed by a lane from Little Oxford St. Early in the 20th century, the building's owners for a brief time were the founders of Maples & Company, Benjamin Nathan & Frederick Thomas - the had founded the Australia-wide Maples furniture and music store chain in 1887. William Martin was the hotel licensee then. The next owner was Harriet L Moss c/o Fox & Ormond, Collins Street, with the building name changing to the Kalgoorlie Hotel c1912. In 1918 the rate entry for `172 Smith Street' showed the Kalgoorlie Hotel crossed out to read `Brick Shop', with James H Coles, ironmonger, as the lessee: the second of the `GJ Coles' stores, after 288 Smith St. The rate entry was `Coles George J., ironmonger' by 1919 (James Coles was a brother of GJ but died in 1916). In the same year the entry for `170 Smith Street, Brick shop' changed from Hyman A, Blashki to George J. Coles, ironmonger: the next part of this Coles shop to absorb the old hotel. Edward A Tymms, caterer, had occupied 168 since the 1890s and continued to do so into the 1930s. The Australian Dictionary of Biography GJ Coles entry states: `In April 1914, in partnership with his brothers Jim and (Sir) Arthur, he opened a store in Smith Street, Collingwood' and `After the war George and Arthur sold their store to an uncle and in June 1919 opened another in larger premises in Smith Street. The success of the partnership encouraged them to establish G. J. Coles & Co. Pty Ltd on 1 July 1921, with George as managing director.' By the mid 1930s, the Rural Meat Supply Pty Ltd. had `168' and G. J. Coles Pty Ltd., merchants, `170' and `172'. Heritage Advice 2007 Historically the first `Coles Variety Store' was opened under the name G&J Coles in 1914 at 288 Smith St which still resembles that period. This building (170-172) represents the Mac's hotel era in part with its stone basement remnant, the next stage of the firm's expansion under the new title of GJ Coles & Co in 1919 in a small part only (rear ground level shop, 172), as a renovation of an old hotel building, but the existing façade and much of the remaining fabric is much later in the development of the Coles company, when many other stores had already been custom designed by architect, Harry A Norris for the firm. Site inspection of the front public part of the building shows the former shop is now divided into two shops, but has the high moulded fibrous plaster coved ceilings typical of the Norris designs elsewhere. This ceiling space is still illuminated by a high window set into the façade, part painted over, that once flooded ample light into the space. A small area of Wunderlich pressed metal typical of the Edwardian-era remains in the rear of 170 Smith St. The shopfront has been changed since the original but the street awning or canopy has the moulded metal fascia (part sheeted over), coffered soffit, and opal porcelain Attachment 6 awning lights of the former Coles store. At the rear there are extensive twostorey red brick 20th century warehouse type buildings. It remains the only custom designed GJ Coles & Co building the City of Yarra, as an example of a nationally known retailer's suburban store. The existing Statement of Significance is qualified to state that the site was not the first Coles Variety Store in Victoria or the City of Yarra but the site of the first GJ Coles & Co Store.

The new building gradings will have implications for future development or works proposals for these properties/sites. It is also noted that no guidance is provided on how the assessment of significance (grading) has been made, other than to state that the properties contribute to the significance of the heritage place. The gradings also have no regard for, or recognition of, the poor level of intactness and integrity for several of these buildings, particularly 130-132 Smith Street, Collingwood (Mountain Designs building); and 168 Smith Street, Collingwood (remnant of 1860s Mac's Hotel). It is therefore recommended that the gradings for the properties be reviewed… Individually Significant properties The former Coles store at 170-172 Smith Street, Collingwood has been identified as an individually significant place, with its own statement of significance included in the Amendment documentation. The level of significance is not justified in the statement of significance. It is recommended that the grading be reviewed. The assessment and statement regarding the architectural significance of the property is also questioned, and should be reviewed. The citation in its entirety should additionally be reviewed to provide clarification on the relative intactness of the building, and to acknowledge the alterations, extensions, etc to the building.

History The following has been provided in a web site devoted to Sir John Monash and provides some of the historical background of this building1: Miles Lewis advises that this building was at 249-251 Smith St, Fitzroy, "one of three buildings whose facades survive on the front of the Safeway Supermarket. It was built as a coffee palace in about 1881, extended about 1887, and internally rebuilt for Ackman, the furniture retailer and manufacturer, in about 1910. The internal structure was originally timber, but at the time of demolition in about 1985-6 it was entirely reinforced concrete." In 1910 John Monash’s Monier reinforced concrete construction company rebuilt the former timber framed interior in reinforced concrete for Ackman to the design of Sydney Smith & Ogg'. 1 http://home.vicnet.net.au/~aholgate/jm/bldgtext/bldgs14.html Attachment 6 The background to the significance of Smith St and this building has been described in Allom Lovell & Assoc. Fitzroy UCA heritage review 199: 4:32 The Growth of the Emporia: 1880s-1930s By the turn of the century, Smith Street also had its own large warehouse/showrooms-come emporia. Most of these were based in the furniture trade as well, although some concentrated on other goods, either locally manufactured or imported. In 1901 they included Morcombe's furniture warehouse at 95 Smith Street, Davis furniture warehouse at 211 Smith Street, the Fitzroy Furniture Company's business at 103 Smith Street, A Hazells furniture warehouse, Proffitt Bros, furniture warehouse, the Foy and Gibson bulk store + at 130-148 Smith Street, Collingwood, Paterson's furniture warehouse at 231 Smith Street, and Ackman's furniture warehouse at 243-247 Smith Street. Some of these large businesses had developed a manufacturing arm, or had originally been manufacturers who had expanded..' ... By 1905, the firm's premises, the 'Ackman's Monster Furnishing Arcade'* at 243-247 Smith Street, were described in the following glowing terms: "As well known as the Post Office dock", is a saving that might be fittingly applied to the old-established house of Messrs H Ackman & Co. of Smith-street. Founded some twenty-five years ago, it is one of the landmarks of Fitzroy, being known far and wide as one of the reputable furnishing establishments in the State of Victoria.141 At its peak, the Ackman's complex occupied a whole block of Fitzroy. Having successfully adopted a policy of backward integration and moved into manufacturing, the firm built a 'modern, multi-storeyed factory backing onto Gore Street'(Fig. 28).14* The only remains of this manufacturing/retail complex which still exists is the facade of the Smith Street building, the site having been developed into a large modern supermarket in the 1980s. And in the 1998 environmental history: Retail: Warehouses and Large Scale Purveyors By the turn of the century, many large warehouse/showrooms-come emporia were based in Yarra. The majority of these were founded in the furniture trade, although some concentrated on other, locally manufactured or imported goods. In the early 20th century they included: Morcombe's furniture warehouse (Fitzroy); Davis' furniture warehouse; the Fitzroy Furniture Company; A Hazell's furniture warehouse; Proffitt Bros, furniture warehouse; the Foy & Gibson bulk store; Paterson's furniture warehouse; Ackman's furniture warehouse; Maples and Dimelow & Gaylard's (Dimmey's). Many of the larger businesses either developed a manufacturing arm, or had originally been manufacturers who had expanded into retailing. This approach was in a number of cases a very successful one; witness the growth of the Foy & Gibson complex of retail and manufacturing buildings Heritage Advice 2007 The MMBW Detail Plan (c1900) shows this site was `Ackmans Furniture warehouse’ (243-247), with the centre wing of the present Safeways being the Fitzroy Coffee Palace (249-251) and north section being the Shepherds Arms Hotel (253-255). Each element is in an Italian Renaissance revival mode built Attachment 6 each is subtly different. The ideal realisation of this site should ensure that each of these 3 buildings is treated individually in any restoration. This once great building complex and series of Victorian-era institutions (emporium, coffee palace, and corner hotel) was reduced to a façade in the 1980s apparently by the architects Clarke Hopkins & Clarke. It has remained as the most glaring example of meaningless facadism, historically, as used by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and others over the years but it does still have high aesthetic values. The 2007 Review database specified façade only as architecturally notable, as formerly one of the major department stores of Smith St (Ackmans). Intactness for the facade upper floors (three floors) is good although overall the integrity is low: balustrade parapet, dentilated stringcourses, pilasters, arcuated system of window opening. The design is architecturally or aesthetically significant as a façade in the local context as unmatched by most commercial High Victorian-era buildings in the City or street because of its scale and detailed ornament. Given the images that exist of the former building, the facade’s restoration is achievable. Recommended No change to heritage value. Further research the history of the place and reassess.

Attachment 6 Address: 48 Stanley Street, Richmond Heritage Overlay Area: HO332 Estimated date range: 1850-1890 Value 2007: contributory Property Number: 187420 History Part of the Rev Joseph Docker's estate, this land and an adjoining lot were sold by Frederick Docker to James Grange (a Richmond draper) in 1869 for ₤174. The first rate entry is in 1870 for a wooden dwelling (later described as 4 rooms) owned by Grange and occupied by William Stephens, a merchant. Hennebury Mrs widow, Chas. Wm. Burford, a painter, George Pape, a carpenter, and a Mrs Patterson were all Grange's tenants. In 1877 Grange sold the property to James Selford, a painter, for ₤910 who resold for ₤905 to Louis Wustemann, Richmond, a gentleman, in 1881. Richard Hall, a livery stable keeper, and Edward Tubbs, a clerk, were his tenants in the 1870s-1880s; James Eaton, tailor, lived there in the 1880s-1890s and James Dunlop, a gardener in the late 1890s. After Wustemann's death his estate divided off this house and others adjoining for sale to individual owners. Edward A Drill, a teacher, purchased this house in 1931 for ₤585 and resided there into the late 1930s. The other part of the pair, 50 Stanley St, has a similar ownership history, with James Milne and William Gosbell, both carpenters, a George Sell, decorator, Henry Gooding, bricklayer, John Wells, painter, until the subdivision in the 1920s when a Mrs M Munday became the owner and Jas. Munday, labourer, the rated occupier. The 1896 MMBW Detail Plan (1070) shows 52-54 Stanley St as near identical in plan, indicating that 48-50 were once part of a row developed by Grange in 1870. Heritage Advice 2007 This pair (48-50 Stanley St) was assessed in the 2007 Review as contributory to the Heritage Overlay Area (48) with a `low' integrity and non contributory to the Heritage Overlay Area (50) with a `poor' integrity. later research has revealed that the land had its origins in the Rev Joseph Docker estate (one of the distinctive parts of the area's history) and the house arose from a speculative development by a local draper, James Grange in 1869-70, with a range of tenants coming mainly from Richmond's building trades. The pair is distinctive as part of a weatherboard clad gabled row (typically row houses are masonry clad) with now roof party wall division and hence is an illustration of early development outside of the Melbourne Building Act (see Fitzroy). Unlike 50, 48 has its original front window opening but both front walls have been reclad and the verandah on 50 replaced. Part of the verandah on 48 remains, with potential for the pair to be upgraded by use of this information for reinstatement. Attachment 6 The house is still recognisable as from the period and is thus still contributory although with a low integrity to that period. The issues raised by the submitter are not heritage ones: there are many earlier timber houses in the State that have a high heritage value. Given that these houses for a pair (48, 50), consideration should be given to assessing 50 Stanley St as `contributory' also. Recommended The Heritage Status of the property in the City of Yarra Heritage Database should remain as `contributory'. The Estimated Date Range should be 1865-1870.
