Residence

The house at 10 Church Street is aesthetically significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of the interwar Californian Bungalow style. These qualities include the dominant gable roof form, together with a flat roofed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, wide eaves, timber framed double hung windows arranged as a horizontal bank of three under the verandah, timber and glazed? front door, window leadlighting and the decorative gable infill (brackets, roughcast panelling and timber battening).

The house and site at 10 Church Street are historically significant at a LOCAL level. They are associated with the housing developments in Belmont from the late 19th century, and more particularly with the Barry family, long time owners and occupiers.

Overall, the house at 10 Church Street is of LOCAL significance.
