[1/1] THE ANNEAR HOUSE

Statement of Significance

36-38 The Eyrie is of considerable architectural and historic significance. Substantially intact, 36-38 The Eyrie is one of three houses constructed on the Eaglemont Estate. The house was designed by prominent architect Harold Desbrowe Annear for himself and his wife Florence in 1903. The house is a notable example of his early arts and crafts mode, featuring many of his characteristic elements such as half-timbered and roughcast walls, weatherboarded plinth and horizontal groupings of casement windows with timber bracketed window hoods.
