Statement of Significance
"Nosilla Court" at no. 35 Leslie Road, Essendon, was built for the undertaker, Joseph Allison, in 1937. It is historically and aesthetically important. It is historically important (Criterion A) in Essendon as the home of the undertaker, Joseph Allison, proprietor of the long established firm of undertakers now known as Joseph Allison Funerals. It is aesthetically important (Criterion B) in the Municipality as an Old English style house, attaining popularity in the 1920's and seen in its later guise in this example of the 1930's, the absence of half timbering and dominance of stuccoed work being by then characteristic. This importance is enhanced by the high level of integrity of the house and its setting.

HOUSE (NOSILLA COURT) - Physical Description 1
A substantial and picturesque Old English style residence recalling the massing of earlier Arts and Crafts architects and demonstrating the evolution of the style in the latter days of its popularity by the absence of half timbering and the predominance of stuccoed surfaces. The dominant element is the main gable forming an attic floor and descending to ground floor eaves level, its dominance offset by a jerkin head roof and lower roof wrapping around a protruding bay. Roof tiles are variegated terra cotta. Interest is given by a rich variety of cast cement shapes, the corbelled eaves, Tudoresque hood moulds, bracketed sills, wall vents and castellation motif to the portico and wing wall being contributory. The chimney is also expressive of the style, being set on an angle and having a castellated top.
