Statement of Significance
Glenagh, 11 Kooyongkoot Road, Hawthorn, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level. It is a well executed and generally intact (to its principal original building component), albeit overpainted, example of an asymmetrical house type with return verandah. This style of dwelling was popular in the Boroondara area at the turn of the nineteenth century, and a number of local builders were expert in the genre. The dwelling is distinguished by its return verandah and projecting elements, including the medieval motifs of steeply pitched multiple gables to the canted bays. The additions and alterations do not impact on a general appreciation of the original building form.

Glenagh, Brockley - Physical Description 1
Glenagh, 11 Kooyongkoot Road, Hawthorn, is a single-storey (overpainted) stucco masonry building, with a slate-clad roof, return verandah, and projecting canted bays (as flanking wings to the verandah) on the west and north elevations. The roof has ridges and valleys capped in iron, and stucco chimneys with cornices; the frieze below the eaves has paired brackets with swags between. The external walls have a deeply moulded course which extends across each canted bay and forms a springing point for the three segmentally-arched windows in each bay. The canted bays are integral with the wings' gable-fronts, with the bay roofline formed of three steeply pitched gables over each window, and braced with crossties and anchored finials. The return verandah has twin posts of chamfered timber, is tiled and edged with bluestone, and has a straight-pitched skillion roof in galvanized steel which is separate from the main roof; the verandah iron lace decoration is unusual. The windows to the verandah are tall, timber-framed and deeply set, with overpainted stone sills. Two doors access the verandah, and have steel and wire screen doors. Unspecified alterations were made in 1960-61, with a carport added and later a pool in 1986; more major rear additions are noted in Council records of 1990;[i] the latter (if undertaken) are not generally visible from the street. The property has a high brick fence to Kooyongkoot Road, and a driveway on the north side.
