Why is it significant?
The house at 19 Balmoral Avenue, Brunswick East, constructed in
1926, is significant. The front fence is sympathetic but is not
significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not
significant.
The house at 19 Balmoral Avenue, Brunswick East, is of local
representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
It is significant as an intact and well-detailed example of a
Californian Bungalow, with characteristic form including the dominant
gable fronted roof with projecting minor gable and the flat-roofed
verandah with arched opening, and detailing to the gable ends
including timber shingles to the minor gable, while the lower part of
the main gable is battened, with timber shingles inset with a
decorative vent grill and resting upon modillons to the upper portion.
Built by a bricklayer, it is notable for the quality of the brickwork
detailing to the low-slung rendered arch and across the front facade,
which includes the use of two colour face brickwork and soldier brick
courses and rounded brick edging at the threshold to the tiled
verandah. Other original details of note include the leadlight to the
upper sashes of the windows. (Criteria D & E)
