Statement of Significance

118 Walpole Street, Kew, is of local historical and architectural significance as a good and externally relatively intact example of an attic bungalow of the 1920s which combines elements from both the Californian and Craftsman bungalow forms. With its broad frontal gable and projecting side dormers, 118 Walpole Street is a striking and skilful composition. The use of Tuscan columns is of interest and looks back to a number of transitional Federation-Bungalow houses of the 1910s.
