Statement of Significance

Braeside at 96 Walpole Street, Kew, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine, representative, and externally relatively intact example of a substantial late nineteenth century single-storey Italianate suburban house. Braeside is an imposing example which compares well with others in the area. It has a concentrated formal power, in part a result of the street slope and its site placement, but also due to the cohesiveness and control in its general composition. The boldness of its striping is distinctive, interlocking with the thick voussoir-brick formations over the bay windows.
