Statement of Significance

A good characteristic Californian Bungalow intact and in good condition, probably built in the late 1920s. It is historically significant locally as physical evidence of family life in inter-war Croydon and architecturally as an exemplar of this domestic style locally.

      House - Physical Description 1

      A good characteristic timber Californian Bungalow with a high hipped roof clad with Marseilles pattern terra-cotta tiles. The left side bay and the right front bays are set forward as minor gables. Upper gables jetty on joists and are clad with shingles. The hip extends forward over the verandah at uniform pitch and past the front gable over a canted bay window. Windows are double-hung sashes, upper sash with rectangular grid leadlighting. The verandah is supported on rendered pylons on plates and brick piers with a wide boarded timber palisade balustrade between. The entrance is in the angle with good double doors, approached by steps between stepped brick dwarf pillars with plate caps.
