Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The house at 35 Cassels Road, Brunswick, built by Robert Planner in 1888-89 is significant. The timber picket front fence is sympathetic, but not original. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.

How is it significant?
The house at 35 Cassels Road, Brunswick, is of local representative significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
It is significant as representative example of a symmetrical Victorian Italianate residence with typical form and detailing including the M-hip roof clad in slate with bracketed eaves, white tuck pointed bi-chrome brick walls, a separate front verandah with a convex profile supported on round timber verandah posts with a Corinthian style capital and cast iron frieze and traditional cream and red floor tiles laid in a diamond pattern with bluestone edging, and an original central panelled timber door with sidelights and highlights (that contain what may be original or early leaded glass), which is flanked by timber framed tripartite double-hung sash windows with bluestone sills. Overall, it is notable for the good integrity and intactness when compared to similar examples in Moreland. (Criterion D)
