Statement of Significance

The house at no. 10 Vanberg Road, Essendon was built for Robert Kimpton in 1912. It is aesthetically important. This importance (Criterion E) arises from the highly picturesque and decorative treatment of this timber villa, being unusual in the immediate locale. The balustrade, gable ends, roof form and detail and treatment of the diagonal axis are the elements that contribute to its aesthetic values.

  A picturesque Federation period villa with turned timber posted corner verandah terminated by projecting half timbered gable ended wings and emphasis being given to the diagonal axis by means of a faceted lead lit window bay and surmounting gablet. The half timbering adopts the lattice form and the corrugated galvanised iron roof cladding has terra cotta cresting. The lower level weatherboards are shingled and the elevated verandah affords a commanding view over the intersection.
