Statement of Significance

Avalon is of local architectural and historical significance. Externally substantially intact, Avalon is the largest Californian bungalow style house in the municipality and is most probably one of the largest in inner-suburban Melbourne. The house gains considerable distinction from its siting within expansive grounds which have remained relatively intact.

The house was the residence of Percy Adams, notable businessman of the 1920s and 30s and manager of the Alba Petroleum Company.
