What is Significant?
'Aloha', 9 Boston Road, Balwyn, built in 1922 for Francis Edward
Bellmaine to designs by architect G H Earp, is significant. The
original brick garage is also significant. The later brick front fence is not significant.
How is it significant?
'Aloha', is of local representative (architectural) and associative
significance to the City of Boroondara.
Why is it significant?
'Aloha' is significant as a good and highly intact representative
example of a relatively uncommon built form in the municipality during
the interwar era, that is, a clear two-storied Bungalow form as
opposed to the more common attic-storey Bungalow of the period. It
retains typical elements of the Californian Bungalow style, namely its
multiple projecting gables with gabled porch, face brickwork, wide
eaves with exposed rafters and dominant chimneys. (Criterion D)
