Why is it significant?
The house at 38 David Street, Brunswick, constructed c.1870, is
significant.
The front picket fence and non-original alterations
and additions to the house are not significant.
The house at 38 David Street, Brunswick, is of local historical
and representative significance to the City of Moreland.
It is historically significant as one of the oldest surviving
houses in Brunswick and provides tangible evidence of the early
development of this part of Brunswick, which was part of merchant
David Blair's 1868 subdivision that created David Street and
neighbouring Blair, Eveline, Lydia and Laura streets. It was one of a
series of early dwellings built in David Street prior to 1871 and is
now one of only few to survive. The simple, unpretentious gabled form
and timber construction is characteristic of these early cottages.
