Statement of Significance
The Glenlyon Road Precinct, comprising the properties at 100-110, and 107-111 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick.
How is it Significant?
The Glenlyon Road Precinct is of local historical and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it Significant?
Historically, the houses were erected between 1908 and 1924 with the exception of No. 107, which, while built in the nineteenth century, was refaced c.1940. As such, the houses collectively provide evidence of a wave of speculative residential development in the early twentieth century. (AHC Criterion A.4)
Aesthetically, the houses are intact and representative examples of their respective periods. While differing in style, they are otherwise comparable in scale, materials and setback, forming an intact and cohesive streetscape which reinforces the value of the individual buildings. (AHC Criterion E.1)

Glenlyon Road - Physical Description 1
The Glenlyon Road Precinct includes the properties at 100-110, 107-111 Glenlyon Road, Brunswick. It is a residential precinct east of Sydney Road, which surrounds the intersection of Ewing Street, and comprises a variety of single-storey residential buildings predominantly from the Edwardian period and is not dominated by any one type, but shows the progression from one style to another.
The house at No. 100 is a single-storey, symmetrical, double-fronted Edwardian weatherboard villa, set raised above the street, with paired double-hung windows flanking a four-panel timber entry door. The verandah has ornate lacework and a central pediment has been removed. Both the main roof and verandah have been re-clad with concrete tile.
Nos 102-104 and 106-108 are face-brick Edwardian semi-detached pairs elevated above the street. Nos 102-104 form a symmetrical pair with recessed side verandahs and projecting gables and awnings. The unusually arranged asymmetrical pair of larger proportions at Nos 106-108 reads as one residence, with a recessed verandah on one side and a straight front verandah on the other. No. 110 is a large prominent bungalow on a corner site with a low pitched roof, roughcast render, shingled gables and arched openings to a deep verandah.
On the northern side of the street No. 107 is a large, single storey, double-fronted Victorian villa set back from the street which has had a symmetrical c.1940s Art Deco face-brick facade and fence added. No 109 is a single-storey, single-fronted detached Victorian cottage.
The street planting in the Glenlyon Road Precinct is Melaleuca sp. Traditional street elements have not been retained and all surfaces have been replaced with concrete and asphalt.Heritage Study and Grading
