[1/1] Review of B Graded Buildings

Statement of Significance

158 Mont Albert Road, Canterbury is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and relatively intact example of a generously proportioned society house of the interwar period influenced by contemporary design in the United States. It retains an original cabana-garage and a fence which may be original or early. The building has a bold asymmetry, particularly in its north elevation, that works well in bringing a sense of informality to a design otherwise marked by imposing Renaissance components. The use of a heavy commercial awning is a vigorous and successful gesture, enlivening the presence of the house.
