'Oomah', 73 Hope Street, Brunswick, is of local historical,
representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
'Oomah' is an intact and well-detailed example of an Edwardian
timber house with characteristic asymmetric form and details such as
the brick and render chimneys, imitation Ashlar facade, bracketed
eaves and bullnose verandah with turned timber posts and cast-iron
frieze. It is distinguished by its many fine timber details including
the scalloped boards and timber truss work to the gable and gablet
ends, the ornate bargeboard and carved brackets to the main gable, the
ornate brackets to the window hood, and the finely detailed window
architraves and the recessed entry doorway. It is also notable for its
