[1/2] House at 17 Vernon St [2/2] House at 17 Vernon St

Statement of Significance

An interesting timber Californian Bungalow, built about 1930, with an extremely complicated gabled roof at the front. It has several mature trees in the front garden and nature strip. It is particularly intact and in good condition, one of two linked groups. It is historically significant to Maroondah with the others of these groups as a representative embodiment of rural family life in Croydon about 1930, just before the Great Depression. It is architecturally significant as a good representative example of this domestic style, with its front roof being an extraordinary element.
