Description
The house at 1720 Waterloo Street was constructed in 1924 for Frank Porter. The name ‘The Gables’ was given to the house by Mr. Porter (the house once featured a plaque with this name). The house is a good example of vernacular revivalist styles popular during the recession after the First World War. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Benzie and Bow, which was responsible for the design of a number of prominent houses in the City. Overall, ‘The Gables’ features a significant amount of original surviving materials and details, and is valued for this as well as its expressive architectural style. The house is also valued for having been built during the recession following the First World War.
