Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, constructed in 1951, at 23 Rogers Street, Pakenham is significant. This is a triple-fronted post-war weatherboard bungalow. The high hipped tiled roof has projecting hipped bays at either end, which are connected by a flat roofed porch with deep eaves and visible rafters. The porch issupported on Tuscan columns set on brick piers with a brick balustrade, each featuring a band of soldier course bricks. There are large timber framed windows, with those at the corner featuring large fixed pane with double hung sash beside. The window to the porch has a fixed central pane with double hung windows either side. To the left of this window are the double entry doors, which are slightly recessed. There are two rectangular brick chimneys on the south wall. The house is very intact and is complemented by a low brick front fence with piers with stepped tops framing the driveway entry and at the north end. The concrete driveway strips and curving path leading to the front door appear to be early or original.
How is it significant?
The house at 23 Rogers Street, Pakenham is of local aesthetic significance to Cardinia Shire.
Why is it significant?
It is significant as a fine example of a post-war bungalow made distinctive by the broad, triple-fronted symmetrical form and the unusual combination of Moderne style corner windows and bungalow-style porch. It demonstrates how local builders freely borrowed from earlier styles that were continued into the early post-war period, particularly in country towns. It is notable for its high degree of intactness and is complemented by a typical low brick front fence. (Criteria D & E)
