Why is it significant?
'Uxbridge', the Edwardian timber house at 16 Horne Street,
Brunswick, constructed by 1914 for (and presumably by) David Patrick
Corr, a carpenter, is significant. Non-original alterations and
additions are not significant. The front fence is sympathetic but is
not significant.
'Uxbridge', 16 Horne Street, Brunswick, is of local representative
and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
'Uxbridge' is significant as an intact and well-detailed example
of an Edwardian timber residence with characteristic asymmetrical form
with a hip and gable roof, imitation Ashlar boards to the front walls
and pressed metal to the gable end, a separate bullnose verandah with
turned timber posts and a cast iron frieze, bracketed eaves and brick
and render chimneys with terracotta pots. It is notable for the fine
quality of the timber details including the highly unusual window
hood, as well as the ornate bargeboard and truss work to the gable
end. (Criteria D & E)
