Statement of Significance

27 and 29 Wattletree Rd were built in 1891 for an investor, and number 27 occupited by the Church of England from an early period.

27 and 29 Wattletree Road are of regional significance for their unusual configuration and ecclesiastical character. The buildings are joined between the front verandahs in the manner of a terrace house, and are unusual for the separate verandah design, and the ecclesiastical character of the gable trusses.

Physical elements that contribute to this significance are:

- projecting gables
- chimneys
- gable truss (number 29 only)
- cement rendered mouldings
- arched window openings, and double hung windows to bays
- two storeyed front and side verandahs with cast iron frieze and balustrade (front verandah only number 27)
