Statement of Significance
1292 Toorak Road, Glen Iris is of local historical and architectural significance as a representative, intact and prominently sited example of a substantial two-storey residence of the interwar period, which retains its original setting, including the brick and stucco fence. Typical for the period, the house is an assured composition which consciously blends elements taken from diverse stylistic and cultural sources.

1292 Toorak Road - Physical Description 1
1292 Toorak Road is a large-storey brick house with stucco rendering. Characterised by broad and simple massing, it has a hipped roof clad in Marseilles-pattern terracotta tile. The entry faces Beryl Street to the west, approached by a cement path running to the corner. The elevations facing Toorak Road and Beryl Street have had little, if any, external alteration.[i] The windows are horizontally proportioned and there is a shingled oriel. The porch has triple arches, its slightly processional looking west elevation suggesting the Mediterranean or California.
The brick and stucco fence is original and complements the house, and is keyed to an encircling hedge and garden typical of the period.
[i] The only council permits are for the house and garage, both completed in 1931.
