Statement of Significance

Roystead, 51 Mont Albert Road, Canterbury, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a relatively intact example of a substantial two-storey Italianate house with a notable two-storey arcaded verandah. Roystead is inventive in having modulated north side verandahs to centralize its composition and accentuate its front door. In this, various resources are used, from a breakfront cornice to a less common fanlight treatment over the north side door. The building is also of historical significance for its association since the 1930s with Camberwell Grammar School.
