How is it Significant?
The house at 833 Park Street, Brunswick, is of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it Significant?
Erected in 1911, the house is associated with a burst of residential development in prestigious Park Street in the early twentieth century, being one of several houses erected on part of a large site which was occupied by the workshops and showroom of the Gillbrook Pottery for almost fifty years. (AHC Criterion A.4)

It is one of several prominent houses which survive in Park Street from that period, when the street was considered to be the premier residential address in Brunswick.

Aesthetically, it is a good example of a picturesque Edwardian brick villa, distinguished by its bellcote roof, roughcast wall surfaces, front fence, and landscaped setting. (AHC Criterion E.1)
