KNOW YOUR PROPERTY’S PAST

When looking to buy or sell a historical home understanding its history and provenance can be both interesting and important. Having an appreciation for when the property was built, why it was built, who built it and who has lived in it is of interest to many people and can add to the cultural significance and the value of the home.

Whether it is an untouched family home that dates back to the 1800s, a property built for alternative purposes or a beautiful contemporary renovation within a classic Victorian shell, many buildings have an interesting story.

Many Melbourne homes play an important part in the history of our city and we sometimes think of ‘historical’ as referring to times prior to the early 19th Century. However, the mid 19th century and beyond hold a significant place for architectural and technological innovations, and cultural shifts which have occurred from post war Melbourne to today.

As a home owner looking to sell, offering provenance and historical detail can add value to your home.

Historical and cultural significance adds appeal to many potential buyers and also helps your house stand out in a competitive market.

Tracing a property’s history through researching documentation and images can be a fascinating and fulfilling project. When conducting research on

buildings there are usually two types of information that people search for, Firstly architectural facts, such as date of construction, name of architect or builder, construction materials, and physical changes over time. And secondly, historical and cultural facts, such as information on the original owner and other residents through time, or interesting events associated with the building or area.

The National Library of Australia’s online archive Trove (trove.nla.org.au) gives access to all the old newspapers and magazines in Victoria up to 1955.

Simply type in your address in the search engine and you will be surprised what you can unearth.

Your local library, historical society or council can also be a great resource. Importantly, older neighbours and people who have seen our neighbourhood change and evolve through time hold much information and living memories.

Jellis Craig currently has a number of historically significant homes on the market including 52 The Avenue, Prahran - Once home to a Mayor of City of Prahran, 467 Victoria Street, West Melbourne - One of West Melbourne’s oldest residences, 57 Hoddle Street, Essendon – Featuring timber from the Showgrounds’ Grand Arena, imported Bradbury wallpaper and a kitchen island that was once a Rochester bank’s counter, just to name a few!
