Statement of Significance
A timber Californian Bungalow built in c1930. It is historically significant as embodying family life in Croydon during the Great Depression and architecturally as an intact characteristic exemplar of this domestic type and probably a State Savings Bank of Victoria house, enhanced as one of a group with 329, 331, 333, 340 and 342 Mount Dandenong Road.

House - Physical Description 1
A double-fronted timber hipped-roof Californian Bungalow with the left bay set back beneath a gable over the verandah. The upper gable has a latticed vent over jettying shingles with a most unusual hexagonal tiled panel over exposed joists supported on brackets on rendered brick piers with soldier course and cruciform decorative panels. The roof is clad with unglazed terra-cotta Marseilles tiles with brick chimney. Rafters are exposed. Windows are pair and triple, expressed with upper sashes, nine-paned.
House - Physical Conditions
Very good.
House - Intactness
Excellent. The fence is anachronistic and not appropriate.
