[1/1] 20 Denman Avenue Balaclava,

Statement of Significance

"Warary" (?) at no. 20 Denman Avenue, Balaclava, was built for the Hansard reporter, Joseph S. Weatherston, in 1914. It is aesthetically significant.

It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as an exceptionally forthright demonstration of Arts and Crafts principles as they were applied to domestic architectural forms at the time. The strong sense of symmetry established both on plan and in terms of its architectural expression is the distinguishing feature of the place, the disposition of the chimneys and window bays about the central axis being highly expressive of the Arts and Crafts mode and unique in this Municipality.
