Historical information
Photograph of Hymettus Cardigan Street Ballarat. Awarded Mayoral trophy for Champion Cottage Garden City of Ballaarat 1915 - 1918 in a city renowned as The Garden City.
Significance
Hymettus was designed by architect/builder Turton in 1900 following the loss of much of the original cottage to fire. Turton designed many Ballarat buildings and his advertising featured his cottage line, commercial line and mansion line. Hymettus is basically a late Victorian style with Federation elements some of which, like these window shade brackets, were added later.
