Statement of Significance
No. 5 Moss Court, Croydon, said to be called Linden (and formerly Bonnie View), is a simple brick Victorian house, first built in 1889, but with major sympathetic additions. It is historically significant to Maroondah as a pioneering house in Croydon, which demonstrates a sequence of development, but particularly is a representative embodiment of life in Croydon before the 1892 financial crash. It is architecturally significant as a relatively rare example in the municipality of a late nineteenth century house

Linden - Physical Description 1
A symmetrical, double-fronted brick gable-roofed house, situated on the highest point in the district and facing the Maroondah Highway. Bricks are light and handmade in the earlier section. It has two pairs of French doors at the right side and a twelve-pane double hung sash in the gable end, a rectangular louvred vent over, with a finial and rail in the upper gable. There is a timber gabled wing facing at right and a similar large L-shaped wing behind, making a triple-front. A timber skillion verandah extends around the angle, terminating at left in the entry. This has a four-panelled door with side and fan-lights. The timber wings have 12-pane double hung sashes and similar finials. There are three rectangular internal chimneys with two corbelled courses.
