Statement of Significance

What is significant?

How is it significant?
The pair of attached houses at 46 and 48 Gold Street, Brunswick, is of local historical, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
It is significant as an intact example of a Federation/Edwardian semi-detached gable-fronted brick pair with traditional gable-fronted form and details such as the bullnose verandah with a timber balustrade, turned timber posts and cast-iron frieze, the casement windows set within a shallow brick bay, and the original front doors with side and highlights. The houses are notable for their simple Arts & Crafts influenced details, which includes the timber truss work and render to the gable and the overall high level of intactness and integrity. The slightly elevated siting of the houses right on the front boundary, is also unusual for the period. (Criteria D & E)
