intact house built in the Federation Period. The use of mirrored forms
with double gables and integrated verandah roofs, along with the use
of materials such as timber and roughcast render in a simple manner,
are uncommon in a house that broadly demonstrates characteristics of
the Federation Arts and Crafts style (Criterion B). 5 & 7 Tollington Avenue, Malvern East, is a well-considered and
carefully detailed example of a Federation Arts and Crafts house. The
overall symmetrical design with dominant roofs, and timber, roughcast
and shingle walling, demonstrates a highly original combination of
architectural elements and materials which together present a
picturesque composition of this architectural style (Criterion E).
