Statement of Significance

A striking brick and rendered Streamlined Moderne hipped roof villa, with an array of contextual elements including fence, gates, garage and garden of the period and of compatible design, built about 1938. It is very intact and in very good condition. It is historically significant to Maroondah as part of these groups, as a representative embodiment of rural family life in Croydon, rare in the period after the Great Depression, but just before the descent of World War II. It is architecturally significant as a remarkable example of this domestic style with a remarkably complete ensemble of intact contextual elements.
