Statement of Significance
Architecturally, this is a typical and conservatively designed Italianate. villa which is distinguished by its owner's craft, in the form of metalwork detailing, and part of a locally important residential streetscape. The adjoining industrial complex, although not externally of the same period, is linked historically with the house and its industrialist owner whose firm rose to metropolitan prominence after his death.

Glenara - Physical Description 1
An otherwise typical dichrome brick Italianate villa of the late 19th century, this house is understandably distinguished by its metalwork. Cast- iron in the verandah, roof ridge ornament and front fence is either unusually complete or of an atypical design. The arch in the verandah was a type of element normally used in the easier-to-construct gabled form and the ridge detail is rare. The gate is fanciful wrought iron and the flanking fence is not like the many metres of similar fence seen in Melbourne's inner suburbs, given the scrolled border introduced at its base. Iron fences were a rarity in the municipality as they were in the entire western middle suburbs.
The adjoining works show externally the expansion induced by the Second War contracts. They also show, albeit symbolically, the once typical location of factory and factory owner's residence, side by side (see Henderson's piggery). The Ebeling family owned the house into the 1980s. [1]

Streetscape
Sited beside the now much-altered works, the house has little period empathy with it. Comprising one of the city's better residential streetscapes, the adjoining and opposing housing is of a similar period and form.Heritage Study and Grading
