Statement of Significance
15 Braeside Avenue is an early brick Californian Bungalow, built in 1921-22. It is historically significant to Maroondah for its association with Honora Blood, important local identity and as a representative embodiment of family life in 1920s Ringwood, beyond the suburbs. It is architecturally significant as a rural representative of this type of house.

House - Physical Description 1
An elevated, double-fronted red brick, early Californian Bungalow. It is gable-roofed across, with a Marseilles unglazed terra-cotta tiled roof. It is sited perpendicular to Braeside Avenue, but faces Mount Dandenong Road. The right bay is set forward over the verandah. This is supported on plain timber brackets; below is roughcast on a transom, supported on timber post-pairs over plinths, with plate-tops with a balustrade with roughcast panels and bull-nosed caps. Windows are pairs (at left) and triples (at right), double-hung and set forward; upper sashes with rectangular leadlights. Chimneys are plain, with decorative terra-cotta lantern-shaped pots. Rafters are exposed. The recessed entrance at centre has a broad stair, of bull-nosed bricks. Double panelled doors have upper glazed lights. The base is expressed. The right side chimney rises from a skillion alcove, with a single window. The sweeping drive is Lilydale toppings with concrete edging. The garden may have some old remnants. There are Cedar trees (also one now on an adjoining property), and an overgrown Melaleuca hedge on the street boundary.
House - Intactness
There is a major first-floor gabled addition and carport. These are very visible, but sympathetic.
