Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 13 Bigge Street was formerly a heritage-listed building. It was a substantial single storey brick Inter-War Californian Bungalow situated on a corner site not far from the business district of Liverpool. The building had a low-pitched terracotta tile roof, square brick chimney, dark stained shingled gable ends and bracketed purlins. Some of the window openings were emphasised with brick soldier course borders which read as architraves. Flat terracotta tiles were a built-in feature of the brick fence to Bigge Street, window sills and the chimney.
A heritage review of the property found that the house was generally in a state of deterioration. In mid-2008 it was noted that a portion of the brick fencing surounding the site had collapsed. On 15 August 2008 a fire, which started in the lounge room, gutted the central portion of the dwelling. A proportion of fabric was damaged including ceilings and roofing and glazing, however the report noted that the outer portion of the dwelling retains original fabric was capable of being repaired. HYZ Development Group, who had been building a group of high rise apartments around the property, had been ordered to leave the heritage listed house intact.(Brady, Colin (February 2016) Heritage report for proposed demolition and new construction at 17-25 Bigge Street, Liverpool[1]) In December 2017, however, they deliberately and illegally moved a demolition crew in and razed the building before concerned members of the public raised the alarm and work was stopped. (Ngo, Cindy (November 9, 2017). "Council issues order after rare bungalow largely demolished". Liverpool Leader.) Most of the property at this point had been destroyed, and the council fined the HYZ Development Group AU$2 million. (Ngo, Cindy (November 14, 2017). "Council "determined" to prosecute developer responsible for heritage building demolition". Liverpool Leader.)
