Statement of Significance
Mallow is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine, representative and externally intact bungalow of the early 1920s, which retains its unpainted stucco finish and generous garden setting. Stylistically, Mallow fuses several major 1920s modes, particularly the bungalow in a general single-storied, rather than 'Californian' sense, and elements of the boxed-eave colonial revival. It has the heavy scale and proportions characteristic of the 1920s, but with an impressive degree of stylistic synthesis in its exterior.

Mallow - Physical Description 1
Mallow, at 33 Deepdene Road is a, transversely massed house of 1923,[i] asymmetrically composed with a projecting wing to the south, and a hipped roof in terracotta tile in a Marseilles pattern, with two chimneys and two hipped wings over the south rooms and the porch. It has boxed eaves in timber planking, and unpainted stucco walls. The main east-facing windows are in three sets with two as curved bays, all have white timber framing and small flat metal hoods. The porch is dominated by a large arch over two inward projecting impost-balustrades, and over which the name Mallow is painted in gold. The street presentation of the house is intact, and the garden, behind a 1996 fence, is of long standing and in a sympathetic style. The lawn previously extended right across the east front, bisected by a curving path toward the driveway. This lawn now terminates at the porch and has been replaced with a concrete car court on the northeast side. Other than that, there are no other recorded additions or alterations.[ii]
