Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The house at 127 Clarke Street, Northcote, built in 1919 for Ethel Cooke. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.

How is it significant?
The house at 127 Clarke Street, Northcote is aesthetically significant to Darebin City.

Why is it significant?
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as a local exemplar of an attic storeyed bungalow in the Arts and Crafts manner, this type of house being uncommon in Northcote and generally preceding the more often seen single storeyed bungalow in Northcote and the northern areas of the Municipality. The use of shingles, the picturesque massing of the elements including gable ends and chimneys and the Arts and Crafts motifs are important contributory design elements, the place being enhanced by the survival of the front fence and garden in an apparently near original state.
