Statement of Significance
A timber Californian Bungalow, built about 1929, particularly intact and in good condition, in one of two linked groups. It has historical significance to Maroondah with the others of these groups, as a representative embodiment of rural family life in Croydon in the late 1920s, just before the Great Depression. It is architecturally significant as a good representative example of this domestic style.

Californian Bungalow - Physical Description 1
A triple-fronted timber Californian Bungalow, with a gabled roof facing Mount Dandenong Road. Left front and right rear side bays are set forward as minor gables. A skillion porch, an extension of the main gable, is in the angle. This is supported on triple plain timber posts, over good clinker brick piers, with expressed caps. The rectangular section chimneys, unusually stepped at top, are pylons, as are the piers supporting the front gable, which is well set forward. Gable-end eaves project, supported on unusual cruciform brackets. Windows are casement-pairs, or quadruples. The roof is clad with unglazed terra-cotta Marseilles tiles. At the side, is a small leadlight scenic window of a rural view. Rafters are exposed. At left is a latticed screen.
