Statement of Significance

234 Rosanna Road is of considerable architectural significance. Externally largely intact, 234 Rosanna Road is one of a number of houses in the municipality designed by prominent architect Harold Desbrowe Annear in his early Arts and Crafts mode. The house is a notable example of this style, featuring many of his characteristic elements such as half-timbering and roughcast walls, weatherboarded plinth and horizontal groupings of casement windows with timber bracketed window hoods.

      HOUSE - Physical Description 1

      Similar to Annear's Eyrie houses, 234 Rosanna Road features an irregular plan creating a picturesque composition. The half-timbering, trussed gables, bracketed timber window hoods and roughcast stucco are characteristic elements, and the gabled roof slopes extend to the south-east to create a verandah. Like the MacGeorge House, however, this building lacks the curvilinear ornament of the Eyrie houses. Internally, the house has panelled wainscoting, built-in mantels and furnishings, and extensive coloured leaded glass designs.
