Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, constructed by 1912, at 22 Grantham Street, Brunswick West is significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house is of local representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
The house is significant as a representative example of an Edwardian timber bungalow, which is notable for its high degree of intactness. While the form and detailing are typical, it is also notable for the decorative timber detailing to the verandah, which demonstrates the influence of the Art Nouveau style. This is particularly evident in the stylised leaf and flower motifs within the frieze, and the sinuous lines in the triangular brackets. The effect of the detailing is enhanced by the slightly exaggerated scale and the spacing between the elements. (Criteria D & E)

This Edwardian single-story weatherboard bungalow is located on the east side of Grantham Street, Brunswick West. It has an almost pyramidal hipped roof, clad in corrugated iron, with a gablet at the peak that features a decorative timber bargeboard. The symmetrical facade has a central panelled door with arched window and sidelights and highlights and two sets of tall double hung sash windows to either side. The original bullnose verandah is supported by timber posts and Art Nouveau style decorative timber frieze with stylised leaf and floral motifs and triangular brackets with sinuous lines. There are also timber eaves brackets separated by shaped timber mouldings above the verandah, and two tall heavily corbelled brick and render chimneys topped with terracotta pots.
