Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The house at 151 Melbourne Avenue, Glenroy.

How is it significant?
The house at 151 Melbourne Avenue, Glenroy is of local aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
Of aesthetic significance for its unusual single-ridged form and bold detailing and for its reasonably intact exterior.The fence and entry gate is an early form of fencing and if not original, then near contemporary with the house. It is also of note as an unusual and early surviving example of a pre World War One bungalow residence in an outlying area of Melbourne which would not see substantial development until after World War Two.At the time of its construction this house was on a pocket of farmland and was surrounded by just a scattering of houses from the Victorian period.
