Statement of Significance

Peroomba is a typical though not as distinguished example of the Arts and Crafts style of prominent architect Harold Desbrowe Annear. The house features many of his characteristic elements, evident in a number of houses in Heidelberg and Ivanhoe constructed in the early twentieth century, such as half-timbered and roughcast walls, terracotta tiled gabled roofs and horizontal groupings of casement windows with timber bracketed window hoods.

      Peroomba House - Physical Description 1

      Peroomba, an asymmetrically planned Arts and Crafts style house, features a number of characteristics typical of Annear's houses of this period. Walls and gable ends are half timbered and roughcast rendered, and the gabled roof is clad with terracotta tiles, and extends over the entrance porch. The casement windows have timber bracketed hoods, strikingly similar to those at 234 Rosanna Road.

      Ivanhoe and Heidelberg experienced rapid expansion after the extension of the railway in 1901. Peroomba is one of the many early 20th century buildings erected in the area and was probably designed by Harold Desbrowe Annear.
