HOUSE

How is it significant?
The house at 8 Aintree Street, Brunswick East, is of local representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
It is significant as a fine and well-detailed example of a weatherboard Californian Bungalow with typical form and detailing including the low-pitched gable-fronted roof with deep eaves with exposed rafter ends that projects to form a full-width verandah supported by half brick piers and paired timber posts. It is notable for the fine quality Arts and Crafts details seen in the timber shingled gable and wide decorative architraves around the gable ventilator, the contrasting soldier course brickwork to the verandah pillars, the carved timber detail between the pairs of timber posts, a half star motif over the double entry doors, and tapered barge boards with rounded ends.
