Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The pair of attached houses at 46-48 Gold Street, Brunswick, built c.1915 for railway employee John Scott, is significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The pair of attached houses at 46 and 48 Gold Street, Brunswick, is of local historical, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
It is significant as an intact example of a Federation/Edwardian semi-detached gable-fronted brick pair with traditional gable-fronted form and details such as the bullnose verandah with a timber balustrade, turned timber posts and cast-iron frieze, the casement windows set within a shallow brick bay, and the original front doors with side and highlights. The houses are notable for their simple Arts & Crafts influenced details, which includes the timber truss work and render to the gable and the overall high level of intactness and integrity. The slightly elevated siting of the houses right on the front boundary, is also unusual for the period. (Criteria D & E)

ATTACHED HOUSES - Physical Description 1
46-48 Gold Street is a semi-detached pair of single fronted red brick Edwardian houses. The houses are slightly elevated and built right to the street frontage and close to the side boundaries. The pair is symmetrical, mirroring each other, with a red brick party wall dividing the houses.
Each house is gable fronted, with a corrugated iron roof and one red brick chimney with a moulded cement top and terracotta pots. The gable ends are partly roughcast with decorative timber truss work and brackets, and bargeboards with shaped lobes, while the bullnose verandahs have timber balustrades and are supported by turned timber posts with a cast iron frieze and have tiled floors. The front walls have white tuckpointing. The triple casement windows with highlights (no.46 retains original coloured glass) and rendered window sills and lintels are set within shallow projecting brick bays, while the original panelled front doors, have a traditional high-waisted form with an arched window and are set within decorative timber surrounds, asymmetrical side- and highlights with a bluestone threshold. Windows in the side elevation are double timber sash and have segmental arch brick lintels. There is a timber side gate to no.48 that may be original or a sympathetic reproduction.
