Why is it significant?
The terrace houses at 16 and 18 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick, built
c.1878, are significant. Non-original alterations and additions and
the front fences are not significant.
The terrace houses at 16 and 18 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick, are of
local historical, representative and aesthetic significance to the
City of Moreland.
Historically, they are among the oldest surviving houses in this
part of Brunswick and provide rare evidence of the development of
Brunswick in the period prior to the development boom of the 1880s.
(Criterion A)
They are significant as representative examples of
mid-Victorian era terrace houses. This is demonstrated by the simple
form and plain detailing, almost completely devoid of the elaborate
applied ornament that came to characterise the houses of the late
Victorian period. The bi-chrome brickwork detail is also quite
restrained when compared with the bold intricate patterns seen in
later examples. Also notable is the unusual semi-detached form with
small side setbacks to the front section of the houses (later terraces
were usually built out to both boundaries) and the tall and ornate
terracotta chimney pots with crown tops. (Criteria D & E)
