Detail InformationEdit

“Chadwick House is one of three neighbouring houses built by architect Harold Desbrowe-Annear. At the time of purchase, the allotment location was on the rural urban fringe of Melbourne. It was sloping and provided extensive views over the Yarra Valley. The house was built in 1904 and had many modifications both internally and externally from then until 1988 when it was purchased by architect, Peter Crone. It is found at 32-34 the Eyrie in Eaglemont, Melbourne. The house is one of three houses which were built on land purchased by Desbrowe-Annear‘s father-in-law and the houses are still found today on The Eyrie and adjoining Outlook Drive.
One of the most striking features of Chadwick House is the two verandas facing east and south-east overlooking the garden. The verandas have an unusual double ox-bow balustrading. The tiled roof is a collection of gabled and hip roofs. The lower part of the house is clad with double beveled weatherboards while the upper part comprises rough cast panels separated by vertical timbers and this pattern is extended to the gables.
The house exhibits many technological innovations including wall recessed, sliding window sashes, modular wall-framing and convection heating vents to the fireplaces. The large timber door which slides to conceal the front dining room is further evidence of the technical innovation employed in the house. The house has a balloon frame construction which was introduced to Australia from California in the mid-nineteenth century. The weatherboards and timber are charcoal grey, the veranda balustrades are yellow and the panels of rough cast are orange/ochre in colour The interior is an open plan design which at the time was a radical departure from contemporary designs.”
