Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house at 193 Brunswick Road, Brunswick, formerly known as 'Tyrone' and built c.1902 for Patrick Stone, is significant. The front fence and non-original additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The former 'Tyrone' at 193 Brunswick Road, Brunswick, is of local historical, representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
It is historically significant as a representative example of a villa residence of the type that was constructed for the emerging middle class in Brunswick in the early 1900s. This style of housing, favoured by the middle class, was typically found on the main roads close to the Carlton/Parkville border, including Brunswick Road. (Criterion A)
It is significant is a fine and intact example of a transitional villa where typical characteristics of the Italianate style including the asymmetrical form with projecting canted bay to one side and verandah to the other; an 'M' profile hipped roof form; arched double-hung sash windows to the bay, with deep cornices above; tripartite window to the front verandah and a timber panelled entry door with side lights have been combined with Federation characteristics such as the red brick walls with rendered bands, and the bullnose profile verandah with cast iron frieze and brackets. The house is notable for its high degree of integrity and fine details, which include the slate roof with cast iron cresting, leadlights to the arched upper sections of the bay windows, deep cornices with keystone over the arched windows, and a moulded cornice at the spring line of the arches, unpainted bluestone sills, brick chimneys with rendered tops, decorative plaster rosettes at either side of the canted bay, tessellated tiled floor to the verandah, and the deep cast iron verandah frieze with a semicircular motif to the frieze and brackets.

HOUSE (TYRONE) - Physical Description 1
Built in the first few years of the twentieth century, this is an example of a transitional Federation era villa with Victorian 'Italianate' form and detailing.
The house is asymmetrical in form with a canted bay projecting to one side. The M-profile hipped roof is clad in slate, with cast iron cresting and brick chimneys with rendered tops. The face red brick facade is enriched by rendered bands, decorative plaster rosettes on either side of the canted bay, and simple eaves brackets are grouped in pairs. Three arched window openings are located around the canted bay. Deep mouldings run around the top of the windows and keystones are located over each. Leadlight is notable to the highlight windows. The verandah has a bullnose roof, a tessellated tiled floor, cast iron posts and a deep iron lace frieze with a semi-circular motif to the frieze and brackets. The entry door has highlights and sidelights.
The tripartite window under the verandah has the less common arrangement where the panels are not grouped in one frame, as often is the case, but are separated as individual windows. All three windows are double hung, with narrow windows located either side of a central wider window.
