Statement of Significance

16 Louisville Avenue is of local historical and architectural significance. It is associated with Maurice Blackburn, a noted Federal MP. It is one of the largest houses in the Coonans Hill Precinct, and is notable for its early use of brick veneer construction, a technique apparently invented by its builder, Joe Clift. The significance of Blackburn House is diminished by the lack of any original landscapingthe front garden is completely paved and the brick fence and steel gates (all c.late 1980s), whilst sympathetic, are not original.
