Why is it significant?
The house at 137 Albert Street, Brunswick, constructed by 1915 for
William Hurford is significant. Non-original alterations and additions
to the house are not significant. The timber picket front fence is
sympathetic but is not significant.
The house at 137 Albert Street, Brunswick, is of local
representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
It is significant as a fine and intact example of a small,
single-fronted, Edwardian timber residence, displaying the typical
features of this type such as the asymmetrical form, the hip and gable
roof with tall chimneys, the verandah with turned timber posts, a
timber frieze and brackets, and the decorative timber and pressed
metal details to the gable end. Aesthetically, it is notable for the
distinctive arched and splayed ladder back verandah frieze, which in
combination with the ornate decorative timber bargeboard, collar tie
and timber finial to the gable end distinguishes this house from
comparable examples. (Criteria D & E)
