}}The Carriageway is a heritage-listed town house at 506–508 Smollett Street, Albury, City of Albury, New South Wales, Australia. The property is owned by D+K Investments Pty Ltd. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]

History

The Carriageway is believed to have been built {{circa|1860}}, during Albury's boom period as a border post and steamer port and has been used as an inn or hostel, as well as a private residence later.[1]

In October 1978 the Heritage Council received a request from the National Trust of Australia (NSW) for protection under the Heritage Act for The Carriageway. At that time the National Trust and the Albury Historical Society was concerned for the future of The Carriageway as it was being offered for sale by auction and its future was insecure through change of ownership.[1]

A section 130 Order under the Heritage Act was placed over The Carriageway on 10 November 1978.[1]

The Carriageway went to auction but was passed in at $50,000 and subsequently purchased by a local medical practitioner. The building was then offered for lease as commercial premises. On 6 September 1979 the Heritage Council resolved to recommend an Interim Heritage Order to the Minister in view of the threat of redevelopment to render the building suitable for commercial use.[1]

An Interim Heritage Order was placed over the property on 26 October 1979.[1]

In view of the building's architectural merit and significance, a Permanent Conservation Order was placed over the property on 10 April 1981,[1]

Modifications in 1985 involved internal conversion into 2 suites of offices downstairs and two separate apartments upstairs, together with restoration work to interior and exterior and construction of independent staircases at the rear to the upstairs apartments. In 1991, the building was subdivided into 4 strata titles, with no change to the fabric.[1]

It was transferred to the State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]

Description

The Carriageway is a mid-Victorian residential building. It consists of a pair of substantial two-storey town-houses of brick construction and terrace form with a central carriageway. The building is unusual in its roof form, the elevation to Smollet Street being composed of four equal jerkinhead gables. Other distinguishing features include stuccoes decorations such as quoinstones, gable plaques and elaborate window and door surrounds. The full-length semi-cantilevered balcony features exceptionally rich balustrade and valence panels and has an elaborate iron palisade front fence.[2][1]

There is a rear service wing that encloses a courtyard.[1]
