Why is it significant?
The house, constructed by 1912, at 22 Grantham Street, Brunswick
West is significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not
significant.
The house is of local representative and aesthetic significance to
the City of Moreland.
The house is significant as a representative example of an
Edwardian timber bungalow, which is notable for its high degree of
intactness. While the form and detailing are typical, it is also
notable for the decorative timber detailing to the verandah, which
demonstrates the influence of the Art Nouveau style. This is
particularly evident in the stylised leaf and flower motifs within the
frieze, and the sinuous lines in the triangular brackets. The effect
of the detailing is enhanced by the slightly exaggerated scale and the
spacing between the elements. (Criteria D & E)
