Statement of Significance

127 Winmalee Road, Balwyn, is of local historical and architectural significance. It as a fine, externally relatively intact and early example of a simply composed attic plan house with round arched entry that became popular in Melbourne suburbs in the 1920s. The house is direct in its treatment and beautifully sited. It reads as a skilled synthesis of British and American Arts and Crafts influences, yet, as with the more successful Australian designs in this period, reveals itself in part as a simplification of Federation houses.
