East Melbourne, Gipps 77, Tasma

Description: 

The 1920s brought many different architectural styles to Melbourne.  Tasma fits most closely into the Prairie style with its low-pitched hip roof, wide eaves, strong massing, and restrained use of applied ornamentation. In spite of its two-storey height the building retains a sense of squatness and connection to the ground.

History: 

Tasma, 77 Gipps Street was built for Frederick Charles Duncan in 1927. In February the following year he put it on the market when it was advertised as ‘SET of 4 SELF-CONTAINED FLATS, each with 4 rooms, bathroom, S O.  New brick 2-storied Building, just completed.’ The purchaser was Joseph Richard Richardson.
