Statement of Significance

The house at 2 Beatrice Street, Burwood, is of local historical and architectural significance as a good example of a Moderne house of the late inter-war period. The asymmetrical massing of forms takes advantage of the prominent corner siting to address both frontages, a context which sets it apart from the more traditional planning and form of the neighbouring properties. While the integrity of the building has been compromised to a degree by the alterations to windows and a door, the overall composition remains unaltered.

      2 Beatrice Street - Physical Description 1

      2 Beatrice Street, Glen Iris, is a two storey house displaying a Moderne asymmetrical massing of face cream brick construction. The parapeted walls conceal upper level terraces and flat roofs and a continuous projecting concrete band above the ground floor windows delineates the floor levels and individual concrete hoods project over first floor windows. The windows generally contain non-original timber-framed awning and fixed sashes screened by canvas awning blinds however the curved corner window adjacent to the main entrance retains an original steel-framed sash. The terraces are accessed via pairs of timber-framed fully glazed doors whereas the entrance contains a panelled solid timber door. A single door at ground floor level has been replaced with glass bricks.

      The terrace and garden paths are concrete paved and a matching cream brick double garage is located at the rear of the property. The frontage is unfenced; however a ti tree fence encloses the rear yard adjacent to the garage.
