East Melbourne, Gipps 77, Tasma
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.
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.
