Statement of Significance
30 Howard Street, Glen Iris is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and prominent representative example of the two-storeyed 'Queen Anne' or early Federation Style in Boroondara and Camberwell, and shows its affinity with contemporary American free style architecture. Notwithstanding that alterations and additions have been undertaken at the rear of the house, the building is generally intact as viewed from the street.

30 Howard Street - Physical Description 1
30 Howard Street is a double-fronted, two-storey brick house from the early Federation period. It has a slate roof in two intersecting gables patterned in five broad bands, with two plain chimneys, a brick gable facing the side and a half-timbered gable facing the street. A timber-framed gallery sits above the front verandah, topped by a coved soffit in stucco and half-timbering. The verandah valance is in paneled slats over five segmental spandrels supported on turned fretwork posts. The front window bay is a three-light, single-storey breakfront with shingled roof, and other windows are double-hung sashes with stilted segmental arches. Walls are in red brick punctuated by polychrome banding in cream and brown brick. The window arches are shaped in moulded brickwork that carries the cream and brown striping over each window.[i] The picket fence and its posts are recent. Though they appear to have involved intervention into the original fabric, later additions to the house are all to the rear, and from the street the house appears basically intact to its original construction in 1895. The garage, clear of the main house and sited to the rear dated from 1989.
