Why is it significant?
The house at 23 Evans Street, Brunswick, built in 1913-14 for
storeman Andrew Cecil Nielsen is significant. The front fence and
non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
The house at 23 Evans Street, Brunswick, is of local
representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
It is significant as an intact and well-detailed example of an
Edwardian timber cottage. While the form is typical of the period,
this small house is notable for the fine quality of the detailing,
which includes bold timber verandah frieze with a keyhole motif and
ornate timber brackets, the rectangular bay window with leaded
casements and leadlight highlights, stop chamfered corners, shaped
boards below the sill and a flat window hood, and the gable end, which
is pressed metal with an embossed pattern and is embellished with an
ornate timber bargeboard with filigree detail and pronounced lobes,
collar tie and timber finial, and ornate paired eaves brackets
separated by shaped boards. (Criteria D & E)
