Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The house formerly known as Loch Erne, constructed by 1907 for John & Charlotte Horner, at 10 Northumberland Road, Pascoe Vale. The relative intactness of the original part of the house within the main hipped roof, including the form, siting, external detailing and materials as it appears from Northumberland Road contributes to significance of the place. The mature Oak (Quercus sp.) is also contributory to the significance of the place.

Non-original alterations or additions to the house, outbuildings, and the front and side fences are not significant.

How is it significant?
The house at 10 Northumberland Road, Pascoe Vale is of local historic and architectural significance to Moreland City.

Why is it significant?
It is historically significant as a house that stands out by its style and siting facing toward Gaffney Road as a very early house in this area and one of the few to be constructed prior to World War I in Pascoe Vale, which was well in advance of the suburban development that did not commence in earnest until the late inter-war period. (Criterion A)

It is architecturally significant as a fine and well-detailed example of a Federation villa. The aesthetic qualities of the house are enhanced by the mature Oak. (Criteria D & E)
