    Glenard Estate - Physical Description 1

    The built environment of the Glenard Estate is predominantly inter-War, with some post-War houses. As at the Mount Eagle Estate, the Glenard Estate features wide winding streets with pockets of hidden central parkland, accessible to local residents, from the rear of many of the properties.

    The estate was also briefly the home of Griffin, who lived in Pholiota at No. 23 Glenard Drive between 1920 and 1921. Pholiota was a small house constructed of Griffin's patent knitlock system, and survives in altered condition at the rear of the present property.

    The adjacent property, No. 21 Glenard Drive, was purchased by Griffin's assistant Roy Lippincott, who built a house of his own design in 1917. Lippincott resided there until his departure for New Zealand in 1921.

    Landscape

    The River Red Gum (E.camaldulensis) at 21 Glenard Drive, and the second on the median opposite, are two of several remnant natives on the estate. Griffin's principle of fenceless blocks is also shown at 21 Glenard Drive, although a low privet hedge has recently been planted. Other frontages, south of 56 Glenard Drive and at 28 Glenard Drive show the continuous rockery approach to fenceless frontages, seen more extensively at Mount Eagle.

    Without the steeper terrain of Mount Eagle, the radial road system at Glenard lacks the elevated views and the picturesque, planted embankments of the estate.
