44 Kirk Road, Point Lonsdale

Aberdeen at 44 Kirk Road is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. It is of historical significance as a well-appointed holiday house which relates to the development of Point Lonsdale in the early years of the twentieth century. Architecturally, Aberdeen is a lively and elegant substantial Federation house, simply but effectively detailed, and largely externally intact to its period of construction. It also adopts a more urbane use of Federation architecture in the Point Lonsdale context, in contrast to the vernacular path pursued in other local contemporary houses. The building's asymmetrical plan and presentation to the street are additionally enhanced by the detailing to the return verandah, including the pierced, flat arched timber bressumers, turned posts and balustrade rail secured with scalloped timber brackets.
