Statement of Significance

Glenavon at 19 Pine Grove, Malvern, is locally significant historically and architecturally:

- for its high external integrity, particularly the unpainted stucco and mature landscape setting, and is thus a good example of the large apparently speculative villas erected in this 19th century estate (Criterion D2);

- as a good example of a large non-architect-designed villa of a type and style occupied by the 19th century middle class and associated with the Italianate style, as exemplified in this building.

      Glenavon - Physical Description 1

      (as assessed from the street)

      This two storey stuccoed Italianate style villa is set out with two projecting wings linked by an ornamental two-level iron verandah. Bay windows are attached to each wing, the verandah floor is tiled with encaustic mosaics, the verandah soffit is boarded, the eaves are bracketed, and the hipped roof forms are slate clad. Chimneys are cemented with typical Victorian-era cornice mouldings and panelled shafts.

      The north and west faces of the house are unadorned face brick (since overpainted) with the arched coloured glass stair light on the west being one of the few period elements. The six-panelled front door has panelled side and top lights with intricate coloured glazing showing transfer and painted glass as well as leaded coloured pieces. Openings, such as the front door and tall double-hung windows, are linked by an impost mould and corners are emphasised with quoins. A string mould, marking the floor line, is faced with an embossed cream and brown patterned tile. Similar tiles are used on the nearby polychrome villa at the corner of Edsall St (Dunrobin 1888).

      Integrity

      Glenavon - Integrity

      (as assessed from the street)

      Well preserved externally, with the unpainted stucco being now a rarity. The perimeter fences are new and an unrelated flat roof one-storey addition has been made to the west side (1987?).
