Statement of Significance
70 Pakington Street, Kew is of local historical and architectural significance as a representative and relatively externally intact example of a single-fronted, single-storey timber residence of Victorian vernacular design. With the relatively late date of 1902, the house shows the persistence of Victorian vernacular design into the twentieth century. The canted bay and latticed verandah frieze enrich an otherwise typical design.

Glen Rose - Physical Description 1
The house at 70 Pakington Street, Kew, is a single-storey single-fronted Victorian villa of timber construction. The front-facing gambrel roof is clad with corrugated galvanised steel and has bracketed eaves and red face brick chimneys with corbelled caps; the gambrel is surmounted by a timber finial. The facade is screened by a skillion-roofed verandah which contains a gable pediment marking the entrance, detailed to match the main gambrel. The verandah is supported by timber posts with a distinctive criss-cross timber fretwork and timber floor and the asymmetrical facade is finished with weatherboard featuring a scalloped dado. The entrance door comprises a six-panelled timber door with glazed surround, the sidelight of which has been infilled, and a non-original aluminium screen door. This is flanked by a canted bay window with timber-framed double-hung sashes.
As viewed from the street, the house would appear to be externally intact, other than for an awning to the bay window and a recent timber picket fence and gates.
