Statement of Significance
"Braeside" at 229 Buckley Street, Essendon, was built for Mrs. Margaret Smith in 1904. It is important as a substantial Federation period villa of the period, recalling the earliest phases in the development of Buckley Street (Criterion A) and distinguished by its use of slate and bluestone, both materials being suggestive of its quite early date in the evolution of the Australian Federation Style.
