How is it significant?

Why is it significant?
It is significant as an intact and well-detailed example of an Edwardian timber cottage. While the form is typical of the period, this small house is notable for the fine quality of the detailing, which includes bold timber verandah frieze with a keyhole motif and ornate timber brackets, the rectangular bay window with leaded casements and leadlight highlights, stop chamfered corners, shaped boards below the sill and a flat window hood, and the gable end, which is pressed metal with an embossed pattern and is embellished with an ornate timber bargeboard with filigree detail and pronounced lobes, collar tie and timber finial, and ornate paired eaves brackets separated by shaped boards.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
23 Evans Street, Brunswick, Edwardian timber residence, situated on a narrow lot on the north side of the street. Like many houses in Brunswick, which date from this period, it has a shallow setback from the street boundary, and small side setbacks.

Typically, the house has hipped corrugated iron roof with a projecting gable and a separate side verandah with bullnose profile, which is supported by a turned timber post and has a bold timber frieze with a keyhole motif and ornate timber brackets. The front door, situated at the side beneath the verandah, has a highlight and sidelights and decorative timber surrounds. There is a corbelled brick chimney. The projecting gable of the front facade features a rectangular bay window with casements and leadlight highlights (the pattern is geometric, and may be a later replacement), stop chamfered corners, shaped boards below the sill and a flat window hood. The gable end is pressed metal with an embossed pattern and is embellished with an ornate timber bargeboard with filigree detail and pronounced lobes, collar tie and timber finial, and ornate paired eaves brackets separated by shaped boards.
