HOUSE

How is it significant?
The house at 112 Moreland Road, Brunswick, is of local representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
It is significant as an intact and well-detailed example of a modest Edwardian timber residence with typical characteristics including the asymmetrical form with a hipped and gabled roof, imitation Ashlar boards, the red brick and render chimneys, the return verandah with turned timber posts and cast iron frieze, and the side entry door with sidelights and highlights of leadlight glass, which is repeated in the triple casement windows and highlights to the projecting bay, and the paired eaves brackets alternating with shaped boards. Of note is the finely detailed timberwork to the gable end, which is clad in notched weatherboards and features ornate timber truss work with collar ties and a tall finial and small panels that have a 'rising sun' motif, and a bargeboard with shaped lobes and scalloped detail. In combination with its narrow form and elevated position, it is a picturesque example of Edwardian architecture. (Criteria D & E)
