Avalon Residence - Physical Description 1
Avalon is a large single hipped residence with exaggerated eaves supported on angle brackets and covering cantilevered window bays. The simplicity of the design and the powerful building form made this building one of the landmarks of the combination of the Prairie style and Craftsman styles with the English Arts and Crafts movement. The building has a slate roof, rough cast walls, timber shingling and projecting bays. The building was extended by the Butler practice in 1925 but the building remained in the Butler family until the late 1980s. The building has been subject to some recent alterations after its change of ownership. The alterations have included some changes to windows on the western elevation and modification to the entry creating a projecting porch as well as a new high masonry fence. While the work is generally sympathetic, it resulted in the loss of some early details and its outstanding integrity.
