  THANET - Physical Description 1
  
  The house on this property has been demolished. It was described in the Doncaster & Templestowe Heritage Study (1991) as follows:
  
  '"Thanet is a single-storey California Bungalow of major and minor gables facing the street. The major gable projects at the right-hand side. There is a verandah around the angle, supported on post pairs on brick piers. "Thanet" is situated behind a row of large cypressesn and a gable rail timber fence.
  
  '"Thanet" is thought to have been built by A.J. Smith (an orchardist and one-time councillor) who owned the land in the 1920s and had an orchard in Tuckers Road (83).
  
  '"Thanet" was demolished on 6-8 August 1991, after the release of the draft Doncaster & Templestowe Heritage Study.'
