The house, trees and front fence at 33 Newman Street, Brunswick

It is significant as a representative example of a typical
interwar gable-fronted bungalow. The house features characteristic
details of the Californian Bungalow style including the prominent
gable clad in timber shingles, a generous enclosed verandah with a
timber frieze and resting on square brick piers with a rendered band
and tapered rendered top. (Criterion D)
