Why is it significant?
The house, constructed by 1910, at 1 South Daly Street, Brunswick
West is significant. Also significant is the tessellated tiled path
and the remnants of an early front fence. Non-original alterations and
additions are not significant.
The house at 1 South Daly Street, Brunswick West is of local
historic, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of
Moreland.
It is significant as one of the early houses in this part of
Brunswick West and provides evidence of the limited suburban
development prior to World War I. (Criterion A)
It is significant
as representative example of an early concrete house dating from prior
to World War I and demonstrates how many adopted relatively
conservative or old-fashioned architectural styles. Many of the other
earlier examples of concrete houses have been demolished and this
example is enhanced by its rarity values. Consequently, it has
potential to provide further information about early concrete
construction techniques. (Criteria B, C & D)
It is significant
as an intact and well-detailed house that demonstrates the transition
from the Victorian to Edwardian styles through details such as the
paired eaves brackets and string course, the heavily corbelled
chimneys with terracotta pots, the four panel front door with
sidelights and coloured glass top light, the cast iron verandah with
frieze and brackets and tessellated tile floor (with a matching
tessellated tile path), the half-timbering to the gable end, and the
incised decoration to the barge boards (that is repeated in the
verandah fascia). It is complemented by a rare example of original
tessellated tile path and the remnant of an over-scaled rendered front
fence. (Criterion E)
