Statement of Significance

The house at 33 Saxon Street, Brunswick, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is the last remaining building of the pottery and brick making enterprises of Alfred Cornwell, an important Brunswick pottery proprietor. Architecturally, it is a good example of a polychrome Italianate mansion, and an example of the type of residence built by an industrialist overlooking his own works. The significance of the house has been greatly reduced by various alterations, in particular the connecting walkway between the balcony and the adjoining school building. The impact of the house on the streetscape has been completely lost by the surrounding school buildings, which date from the 1960s onwards.
