Statement of Significance

The house at 839 Park Street, Brunswick is of local historic and aesthetic significance. Erected in 1914, the house is associated with a burst of residential development in prestigious Park Street in the early twentieth century, being one of several houses erected on part of a large site which was occupied by the workshops and showroom of the Gillbrook Pottery for almost fifty years. It is a fine example of an Edwardian brick house in the attic-storeyed bungalow idiom, distinguished by its prominent balcony at roof level and colonnaded verandah. It is typical of the more ostentatious type and scale of housing which proliferated in Park Street, which was Brunswick's premier residential strip in the in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It remains as an important element in the streetscape.
