Why is it significant?
The semi-detached houses, at 60-62 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick, built
c.1910 for (and possibly by) contractor Amos Mitchell, are
significant. Non-original alterations and addition and the front
fences are not significant.
The houses at 60-62 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick, are of
representative significance to the City of Moreland.
They are significant as a further illustration of the transition
in housing styles and forms that occurred during the early 1900s.
Traces of the Victorian era remain through detailing such as the
bracketed eaves decoration, and the symmetrical arrangement of the
main elevation, while the steeply pitched roof with a projecting side
gable, the treatment of the chimney and the bullnose form of the
verandah and details such as the turned timber posts clearly show the
transition to the Federation/Edwardian style. The houses are of note
for the semi-detached form. While this was common throughout this
period, it was predominantly used for singlefronted houses and
double-fronted houses sharing a common boundary wall are virtually
unknown. (Criterion D)
