Statement of Significance

  • Physical Description 1

    House at 222 Somerville Road - Physical Description 1

    Derived from the American Bungalow form, with its roof gable emphasis and heavy verandah form, this house is far larger than the typical suburban Bungalow (see next door) and, typically for Footscray, it is clad with brick and stucco.
    
    An uncommon element to the Bungalow ilk is the helm gable roof form, but elsewhere there are the mice stained shingles, the leadlight glazing (unusual pattern) and the Marseilles pattern tiles (glazed). Beside the house is an extensive garden, very much of the era (palms, cypress) and in front, is a brick piered fence with segment-arched wrought-iron infill. The cement render (and bricks) are unpainted as original and of note is the rubble stone pergola in the driveway.

    Streetscape
    Now a mixed streetscape, but evidently once a contemporary one (shops and Bungalows).
