Statement of Significance

What is significant?
This Californian Bungalow style weatherboard house has a distinctive sunburst porch or verandah. It has terra-cotta Marseilles pattern roof tiles, boxed window groups with tiled hoods set on timber brackets. However it is the verandah that is uncommon although examples are more common in this part of Alphington than elsewhere in the inner or middle suburbs.

How is it significant?
The building is aesthetically and historically significant (National Estate Register Criteria E1, A4) to Alphington and the City of Yarra.

Why is it significant?
The building is significant:
- for the distinctive sunburst pattern porch detailing; and
- for its good representation of a key post First War growth period in Alphington's history.
