[1/1] Review of B Graded Buildings

Statement of Significance

Gosmont, at 1221 Burke Road, is of local historical and municipal architectural significance as a fine and externally highly intact example of a suburban residence from the mid to later Federation period in Australian architecture. Gosmont is an elegantly composed, lively and forceful example of Federation design, drawing animation from constant modulation of compositional mass and wall surface colour, which is ably applied. The design exhibits poise and elegance in its proportioning and composition, and stands as a demonstration of the Federation style in Victoria towards the height of its powers.
