Why is it significant?
Brooklyn is of aesthetic significance as an intact example of a transitional late Victorian/Queen Anne style residence that also expresses Gothic features, representing an unusual combination of architectural styles. It displays an unusual architectural detailing, including gable end decoration of trefoil shaped half-timbering, and paired pointed arch-headed windows with a moulded pediment above. The verandah decoration repeats the shape of the windows in a fretwork motif and contributes to a harmony between the elements of a remarkably varied decorative scheme. (Criteria D & E)

Brooklyn - Physical Description 1
Brooklyn is a transitional red brick late Federation/Queen Anne style house, with a number of Gothic derived elements. The house has a hipped slated roof capped by a terracotta finial, and tall red brick chimneys surmounted by terracotta pots. The projected gabled section facing the street has a trefoil shaped half timbering and a moulded pedimented hood above paired, pointed, arched, leadlighted sash windows. The verandah features a gothic trefoil motif in the timber frieze. Brooklyn is sited on a large block, with a number of large trees visible from the road. A modern garage and pergola are situated at the rear of the property, and express similar colour schemes and patterns to the original building. The house is partially concealed from the street by a tall front fence.
283 Upper Heidelberg Road comprising outbuildings and a swimming pool is not included in the citation.
