Statement of Significance
Precinct statement of significance:
The simple gabled, weatherboard bungalow style houses are architecturally significant for their consistent form and design details, with characteristic wide eaves, steep pitched roofs and timber details such as eave and verandah brackets. While the houses are clearly designed and built to standard plans, the small variations, orientation to the allotments and subtly varied details indicate the attempts to create variety and avoid monotony in the designs.
The layout of the estate is distinctive and unusual with its small corner and central roundabout reserve, planted with a large palm, and the large reserves enclosed by back fences of the houses in a manner reminiscent of Walter Burley Griffin's pioneering town planning at Eaglemont and Avondale Heights.

Seeking original owner and WW1 Veteran's name
Melissa Dent • 22/12/15
I would like to name my home after the original owner, the World War 1 veteran for whom this house at 2 Bazentin St, Albion, was built. Does anyone know how to find this out?
