1. Background of the author
I have lived in Hurlstone Park for more than 12 years.
I have no qualifications in the areas of architecture or building.
I value the community, the safety and the social and built heritage of this suburb.
I believe this heritage should be protected.
I have lived in the inner west for many years and have been shocked at the disregard
shown to Australian built heritage by residents
and immigrants (especially in the post war era), and by local and and state governments.
2. General heritage concerns
Australia has a short history of built heritage. Travelling around Europe or England, one
cannot helped being impressed by the fine examples of historic buildings, and how town
planning over the years, and centuries, has respected the past.
How horrifying it is to witness the ongoing destruction of Australia’s short-lived
built heritage.
An exhibition of photos at Hyde Park Barracks that I attended in 1998 documented the
demolition of many fine Greenway buildings and mansions to make way for petrol stations,
car parks and the like. The barracks themselves, inscribed on the UNESCO World heritage list,
are lucky to have survived multiple threats of demolition in the name of modernisation.
There was public outcry when the 1920s Regent Theatre in George St was demolished in 1988,
leaving a gaping hole in the city for many years (the then planning minister lifted the
conservation order).
Just recently, the State Government has essentially sold 2 magnificent late 1880’s sandstone
buildings -The Lands and education buildings - to a foreign developer.

Closer to home, there has been incremental, government-sanctioned destruction of many
fine period homes in the inner west of Sydney.
In Haberfield, for example, many magnificent and unique Federation houses were
modernised by post-war immigrants.
Further homes will be lost to the controversial West Connex.
Hurlstone Park has a high percentage of period homes. Like the houses in Haberfield,
many have suffered unsympathetic alterations. The suburb remains, however,
a low-rise residential area full of well-maintained period family homes with large back-yards,
wide tree-lined streets, and small parks and playgrounds. Original shop façades
dominate the small shopping strip. There are no high-rise units in the suburb.
The whole suburb is an oasis of heritage, with a village atmosphere valued by the residents.
This suburb is now at great risk of losing everything that makes it special.
There is a looming threat of over-development, in a political climate where greed is valued,
and the concerns of the electorate, along with the values of aestheticism and history,
are ignored.
3. Hurlstone Park- suburb definition and history
Hurlstone Park is a small suburb of only 1 sq km. It is 9km from the city and
well-serviced by buses, a train line, and in nearby Dulwich Hill, light rail.
Most of Hurlstone Park falls within the City of Canterbury LGA.
A small pocket of the suburb to the west of Canterbury Rd falls within the LGA of the
Municipality of Ashfield.
Hurlstone Park is bound by Canterbury Rd (and Hardy Streets to the West),
New Canterbury Rd, Garnett St, the Cooks River and Church St.
It is surrounded buy the suburbs of Canterbury, Earlwood, Marrickville, Dulwich Hill
and Ashfield.
The area was initially called Wattle Hill, then Fernhill. Many of the street names
(Duntroon, Denstaffenage, Kilbride, Melford, Crinan) are a nod to Scottish landmarks
associated with ancestors of Ms Sophia Campbell who inherited a large part of the land
in the mid 1800s.
The land was sub-divided over the years and lots sold to dairy farmers, brick-makers
(who used local clay near the river) and land speculators. Many of the houses were
erected by local builders.
The area is part of the traditional land of the Wangal people.
According to the 2011 census Hurlstone Park has population of 4,118 , translating to
a population density of 38.94 persons per hectare.
(This compares to Manly- the NSW premier Mike Baird’s electorate - with of a much
lower population density of 27.67, and a density of the whole Sydney metropolitan area
of 37.2).
4. The Built Heritage of Hurlstone Park
This suburb represents a bygone era of suburban residential charm.
The village shopping centre adjoins the historic railway with its preserved platform
buildings.
Most of the land is occupied by single dwelling houses (about 60% separate and 8%
semi-detached; units comprise about 25%).
The area is almost entirely low rise, with most unit blocks being of the 2-storey, small block
Art Deco era. A small proportion of the land is multiple dwelling housing (town-houses, mainly)
and most of these complexes are tucked away and do not detract from the predominant
landscape of family homes.
Most of the houses in the suburb were built around Federation or post Ward War I.
Many have retained original features.
Post-war immigrants moved to the area in the second half of the twentieth century which
resulted in the loss of many traditional architectural features of houses in the area.
The average land size is a generous 452 square metres.
Federation-era houses in original condition are very popular and the area has high
residential land values.
Last year the median sale price was $1.1 m (national average being $485 k).
People choose to live here because of the suburbs current aesthetic appeal.
The streets of Hurlstone Park are in the main, wide, quiet, and tree-lined , complimented by
the low-rise period dwellings. There are several attractive walkways with steps, leafy
pathways and small parks providing picturesque links between street of the suburb.
There is very little through traffic.
The land undulates down towards the Cooks River and has significant areas of parkland
along the river. Sandstone outcrops form cliffs above the river and provide sweeping
views for high-set homes.
Many streets in Hurlstone Park offer views of the city, or the river or surrounding suburbs.
The views are not interrupted by medium or high rise developments, adding to the open feel
of the environment and enhancing the quality of light in backyards and homes
throughout the suburb.
Several small parks are scattered throughout the suburb.
5. The Social Heritage of Hurlstone Park
Hurlstone Park has a great community and several features which make it unique.
The Hurlstone Park association was formed by residents to
foster community participation in maintaining the unique character of the suburb.
Around a third of the residents are from non-English-speaking backgrounds.
Most residents own or are buying their residence.
Hurlstone park enjoys a relatively low crime rate. For example when comparing crime rates
in 2011 the Canterbury area had 3729, while the City of Sydney had
16,218 (per 100,000 population).
Residents of Hurlstone Park value the safety and intimacy of their suburb.
Many residents have lived here for decades.
The local shops have a village atmosphere, and the locals and shop-owners are
well-acquainted. The local shoemaker still crafts bespoke shoes, and sells local honey.
Jack is the local framer and supports local artists to display their work.
His wife sells recycled clothes in a nearby shop. A local family has opened a successful bakery,
and the pizza café owner is supported by many local friends. Benny runs the newsagent,
and the local grocers are family owned.
The local gym manager has raised hi family in this suburb.
The Mudcrabs are a group of people who works at restoring and maintaining the
natural bushland around the Cooks River.
6. The Special Heritage value of Hurlstone Park
The suburb of Hurlstone Park should be listed as a Heritage Conservation Area.
This needs to be done as soon as possible to protect the suburb for the current
residents and for future generations.
It is not just the individual buildings that make the heritage of the suburb so precious
- it is the uniformity of form and structure of groups of homes, the attractive streetscapes,
the village shopping strip, the parks, walkways and views, and the character, nature and
social heartbeat of the suburb.
Even though there have been alterations made to many period homes, their basic size,
structure and form has been largely left intact, so the interruption street-scape, views,
shading etc is minimal compared with the erection of modern blocks of units.
There are plans to rezone a large part of Hurlstone Park to medium density housing,
under the guise of an Urban Renewal Strategy. The draft strategy is poorly devised,
has involved minimal community consultation, and has trivialised the implications
for loss of built heritage .
There is a great risk that rezoning low-rise residential areas will result in ad-hoc
building of units which will not only negatively impact immediate neighbours, but will
also destroy the picturesque streetscapes and the current views enjoyed by many
residents and visitors.
There are further implications for traffic congestion, pollution, increases in crime rates
and lack of infrastructure that are outside the scope of this report.
The increase in population that would come from development will also negatively
impact the quiet, safe suburb’s social heritage.
Building approvals have significantly increased in the last year or so, especially
due to large blocks of units along new Canterbury Road, for example:
“Rise” 610-618 New Canterbury Rd H Park DA approved for 60 new apartments
“Fernhill Apartments” 630-634 New Canterbury Rd H Park - planning 6 floors,
25 apartments.
It should be pointed out that large-scale development is currently under-way along
Canterbury and New Canterbury Roads, in Hurlstone Park, Canterbury, and that the
suburb of Hurlstone Park, already considerably dense compared with other Sydney
suburbs, is already carrying its weight in terms of increases in housing availability.

8. Aims of this survey
-to document the heritage aspects of the suburb, especially its low-rise residential
landscape which dominates.
-to document the high proportion of traditional family homes with heritage value, the
street-scapes and the overall heritage flavour of the suburb
-to determine the proportion of homes in the suburb of heritage value
-to provide evidence for the heritage listing of the suburb
-to document a small part of the significant aspects of Sydney’s built heritage, which
is increasingly at risk from reckless development
9. Definitions for the purposes of this survey
Heritage value - mainly dwellings of the Federation, Victorian, Art Deco era and
bungalows, etc intact, have retained many original features* or have been restored.
Original features include but are not restricted to, roof structure, timber windows
and /or doors, and decorative render, brick and/or timber work has been retained.
Many have original names or name plates.
Many were built by local builders of the time.
Rear and upper storey extensions, and replacement of original fences or slates roofs,
for example, have not precluded them being defined as “heritage” for the purposes of
this survey.
Most of the heritage aspect relates to the street view and basic structural form of the dwelling.
Dwellings that do not fit the heritage definition include new homes, 70s and later era unit
blocks, and older homes that have been altered beyond recognition. Most of these are
single-storey homes that still fit into the general aesthetic of the neighbourhood.
Dwellings in the intermediate category are older houses that have the potential for
restoration. Some have many original features and remain single-storey dwellings that
do not detract greatly from the general aesthetic of the street scape.
Some previously altered houses have been restored again
e.g Euston House at 67 Floss St facing the park and number 34 Dunstaffenage.
34 Dunstaffenage St 34 Dunstaffenage St before restoration
10. Method
I walked every street in the suburb over a 4 week period to assess and photograph
every dwelling of possible heritage significance.
I also cross-referenced houses numbers with google maps.
1004 photos have been saved.
I have recorded the heritage styles of 45 streets.
11. Results of the survey
The streets of Hurlstone park are characteristically wide and tree-lined.
There are several interesting streetscapes with pretty steps and pathways,
for example in Starkey St, Burnett St and Hurlstone Ave.
The geography is meandering and many streets have wide views of the city,
to the south and over the Cook’s River.
There are many small parks interspersed throughout the suburb and larger
green spaces along the Cook’s River.
The predominant dwelling the single storey brick and tile family home, with a
good-sized backyard.
Overall, 60.2% of dwellings in Hursltone Park have heritage merit.
Up to about a further 20% have the potential for restoration.
Hurlstone Park has pockets of low-rise town-houses and unit complexes,
such as in Floss St, and in Dunkeld Ave.
Most of these complexes are tucked away and do not detract from the
general aesthetic of low-rise family homes in the neighbourhood.
There are no high-rise units in Hurlstone Park.
There are several attractive small Art Deco period unit blocks of 2 stories.
Recent developments along new Canterbury Road, and plans for rezoning
around to the station put the heritage of Hurlstone Park in great peril.
The following is a street-by-street summary of Hurlstone Park.
It includes photos of some of the period dwellings and street-scapes.

The Corner building at 136 has a full original (dated 1926) 1st storey façade.
(Crinan Street is named after a small town in Argyll near Duntrune Castle, Scotland.
A creek once ran across Crinan Street at the lowest point. The land on the south side of
Crinan Street from Dunstaffenage Street to the creek was all part of Pendlebury’s
brickworks at the end of the 19th century. Blamire’s brickworks, which operated from
about 1833, was on the opposite side of Crinan Street. No.78 ‘Harlands’, was probably
built by another well-known local builder, Frederick Rossiter, in 1895 for
William Mackrell Mills, a merchant.
The house has several characteristics of the earlier Victorian period,
including rendered walls and classical detailing around the windows.
No.68 Crinan Street has some of the same Victorian characteristics,
and was one of a pair ‘Lily Ville’ and ‘Ethel Ville’, built by William Pendlebury
in 1897 and named after his daughters.
Nos. 68 and 70 Crinan Street show the contrast between the Victorian and
Federation era houses very well.
No.70 ‘Lucielle’ was built by James Findlay of Ashfield in 1915, and has his
characteristic style of timber veranda brackets.
His houses, with similar brackets, can also be found in Hanks Street, Ashbury.
The original creek once ran across Crinan Street, in the centre of the brickworks.
From the late 1920s, tennis courts stood on this site – ‘Blue Wren’ and ‘Lauriston’
courts have now become a park and a Bowling Club, while 1960s home units now
occupy the site of tennis courts and a nursery on the opposite side of the road.
William Pendlebury built the first shop near the railway station about 1903,
and the shopping centre grew rapidly from that time. By 1916, there were about
twenty-five shops in Hurlstone Park, including two banks, two estate agents,
three confectioners and a pastrycook, three grocers, two butchers, a ham and beef shop,
three fruiterers, two drapers, a ladies’ outfitter and a seller of musical instruments.
William Austin’s butcher’s shop at no.14 Crinan Street still has its painted
tiles advertising the beef, pork and lamb sold within. Across the road,
nos. 13 and 15 still have their fine majolica tilework.)

The street sweeps behind Canterbury Rd. It begins with modest mid 1900 homes and then
has rows of new town-houses; - consequently on 26.9% are period houses.
It has a small park - Dunkeld reserve..
4 Dunkeld Ave
Dunstaffenage St
Most homes are older and of heritage value (56.5%)
No 70 is dated 1908 and is a largely intact Federation home outside and inside.
(Dunstaffenage Street, formerly Dunstaffenage Street, was named after
Dunstaffenage Castle, a 13th century Campbell stronghold near Oban on the
coast of Argyll, Scotland.
There were shops on the corner of Crinan Street. On the northern corner was
grocer, built in 1912, and on the southern corner were two shops, a butcher
and a greengrocer, probably built about 1904.
Nos. 28, 30 and 32 Dunstaffenage Street were built in 1911-12 by Arthur Genders,
who lived in Gower Street. There is a very fine Federation sunrise motif in the
gable of no.28 ‘Megal’, which also has high-quality ceramic tiles decorating the veranda.
Genders was a very stylish local builder, who had a good eye for detail.
Two of the houses have sandstone foundations, probably quarried locally.
Nos. 34, 36, 38 and 40 Dunstaffenage Street were built in 1911 by William Pendlebury,
son of the brick maker, who lived around the corner in Crinan Street. No.36 ‘Mignon’,
later ‘Mayence’, retains its original tile risers on the front steps, and no.38 and no.40
show the variation in houses designed by the same builder in the Federation era.
Pendlebury was a prolific builder in Hurlstone Park, whose houses can
be found in many streets in the suburb. Nos. 42, 44, 46 and 48 Dunstaffenage
Street were built in 1912 by Clement Bond Witheford of Fernhill,
another prolific local builder. No.42 ‘Tresco’ still has its original nameplate. )

Duntroon St
Runs from Grumpy’s Hotel to on New Canterbury Rd to the station then

Several 70/80’s unit blocks but mostly heritage single-storey houses- Victorian,
Federation and and bungalows.
60.6% are period dwellings.
There are some 2 storey Art Deco Unit blocks and small runs of shops with original
façades atop.
(Interest Point 1 Duntroon Street was named after Duntroon (or Duntrune)
Castle in Argyll, a stronghold of the Campbell family, and one of the oldest inhabited
houses in Scotland.
The Hurlstone Park Picture Show, later the Dudley Picture Theatre, built about 1913,
once stood on the west side of Duntroon Street south of Marcia Street.
It was demolished about 1927, and replaced by the houses at nos.75-77 Duntroon
Street. Hurlstone Hall, on the northern corner of Marcia Street, was built about
1912 as a meeting place for the residents of the suburb.
A new façade and side extension was added in 1981 for the Masonic Centre)
3 Duntroon St 41 and 59 Duntroon St
82,84,86 Duntroon St
Euston Rd
This single block cul-de-sac contains many classic homes built around Federation
by local builders. A lovely triangular park rolling down from the front of the stately
“Euston House” make this a very pretty spot.
71.4% of the homes are period dwellings.
(In the mid-19th century, a whinstone quarry was opened in the vicinity of today’s
Euston Road and Gower Street, and Floss Street follows the original cart track
from the quarry to St Paul’s Church, Canterbury.
The Euston Road World War I Memorial was dedicated in 1920,
and was first located at the Railway Station.
It was moved to Euston Reserve after World War II because of congestion on
the roads around the railway.
Many of the boys commemorated on the Memorial were local tradesmen
or their apprentices who built the
new houses in Hurlstone Park and nearby suburbs. ‘Euston’ 67 Floss Street.
This large Federation Queen Anne house
was built on four allotments of Jeffrey’s Estate no.5, which was subdivided by
Sophia Campbell’s heirs in 1910.
Vincent Campbell Sharp ‘Cigarette Vin’, the son of a former Mayor of Canterbury,
bought the land in May 1911 and built the very grand house, with its lead-light
windows, elaborate gable screen and ladder valance on the veranda.
He and his wife, Florence Puddicombe, were substantial investors in real
estate in the Municipality of Canterbury.
In 1926, the house was sold to William Henry Whiddon of Manly,
Commissioner of Taxation. He was to become the first Director of State
Lotteries on 22 June 1931. In 1936, a small block from the Floss Street frontage
was transferred to Whiddon’s three daughters, and a block of flats,
‘Euston Court’ was built.
The house, ‘Euston’, appears to have been used as a Private Hospital from 1950.
In 1970 it was sold to the
Christian Brethren Community Services, and in 1990 it was transferred to
Bethshean Nursing Home Ltd. It was sold again in 2002.
Euston Road Precinct. Most of the houses on the north side of Euston Road
were identified as a group of heritage
significance to the Canterbury area in 1987. They are among the finest
Federation Queen Anne houses in Canterbury,
and together they make a unified street-scape. No.1 ‘Florida’ and no.3 ‘Iberia’
were probably both built in 1912 by Mark Isaac Bear.
No.7 ‘Wyee’ was built in 1913. No.9 ‘Rowena’ and no.11 ‘Lyric’ form a pair, both
built for Frederick Henry, company secretary in 1911-12, and tenanted throughout
World War I. The style is very similar, each having interesting variations
on the basic design.
They both have a steep gambrel roof, (small ventilating gables at the top), and each
has a gable over the front entrance, tessellated tile path, and the original tiled
risers are still in place.
‘Rowena’ has cup and ball finials and elaborate lead-light windows;
‘Lyric’ has ram’s horn finials and elaborate timber detailing, including a ladder valance
around the veranda. No.13 ‘Glenelg’, built 1912, has the typical patterned slate roof
with terracotta ridge capping, and a rough-cast chimney with brick strap detailing.
No.15 ‘Roma’, built 1915, has a very elaborate front gable with a tulip design.
No.21 ‘Wyuna’ was built in 1911 for William Roughley of Marrickville,
commission agent. In 1923, Cecil Gunter, a local master builder, bought the house,
and he may have made some changes to the design, as the plain strap-work
gable on the Euston Road frontage is more characteristic of the post-war
California Bungalow style. No.2, on the south side of Euston Road, is a very
typical builder’s interpretation of a California Bungalow, built in 1927.)

Many have been altered by post-war immigrants, a move many of these
home-owners now regret. Some residents have lived in the street for more than 30 years.
(Gower Street. Euston Road and Gower Street are both part of the same subdivision,
and to own a house in this subdivision was probably considered the height of
success in Hurlstone Park. Gower Street has a view stretching as far as Botany Bay,
and at least three local builders, William Pendlebury, Arthur Genders and Cecil Gunter,
lived there. No.17-15 ‘Hollis’, built in 1911, was occupied by the local Methodist
Minister from 1918. It has many features of the Federation Queen Anne style, including
a large bay window and pierced terracotta ridge capping. No.13 ‘Hazelmere’ next door,
has a fine Federation sunrise gable decoration.
No.5 ‘Kurranulla’ was built in 1918 by Arthur Coleman in a later
Bungalow style reminiscent of an English cottage.
He also built several houses in Acton Street. Nos.4, 6, 8, 9 and 21
were all built by members of the Pendlebury family between 1912 and 1921.
No.4 ‘Myraville’, built 1912 and no.9 ‘Nordys’ built 1913 are typical of
William Pendlebury’s style.
The name ‘Nordys’ comes from a combination of the first names of the owners,
Norman and Gladys Bragg.
No.14 ‘Highbury’ was built in 1911 by Cecil Gunter for his wife, Emma.
Creative builder Arthur Genders lived in no.1 Gower Street, built 1912,
a large house which has since lost its Federation detailing)
