Window Detail of the Former Residence and Consulting Rooms of for Dr. Emil Guthiel – Corner Sturt and Errard Streets, Ballarat
The House at 802 Sturt Street was constructed between 1894 and 1895 as a residence and consulting rooms for eye and ear specialist Dr. Emil Guthiel. It was designed by the Ballarat architects Gilbert and Clegg. Dr. Guthiel retained ownership of the house until his death in 1921. He was one of a number of doctors who lived in the area which is close to the Ballarat Base Hospital.
The building is designed in Federation Queen Anne style incorporating an eclectic mix of Gothic, Tudor and classical elements. It is a two storey building of red brick on bluestone foundations with white painted render detailing and a slate roof. There are Gothic and Tudor elements on the ground floor while the upper windows above sill level are Classical in design and there is a picturesque turret on the roof.
The Sturt Street facade has two castellated lancet bay windows at ground level with two pairs of plainer sash windows above and a single sash between them, surmounted by a steep pediment. The corner of the building has a picturesque projecting turret with Gothic arched windows and steep conical roof terminating in a sunflower finial.
The Errard Street frontage has a recessed tudoresque entrance with heraldic enrichment and low pointed arch with square label mould above. There are three sash windows above with a central steep pediment which matches the one on the Sturt Street facade. A chimney back corbels out at first floor level and extends high above the roof line to balance the corner turret.
