Statement of Significance
The house, constructed c.1894 for Agnes Carlile, at 24 Fawkner Street, Pascoe Vale. The relative intactness of the original part of the house within the main hipped roof, including the form, siting, external detailing and materials as it appears from Fawkner Street contributes to significance of the place.
Non-original alterations or additions to the house including the reconstructed front verandah, outbuildings, and the front and side fences are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 24 Fawkner Street, Pascoe Vale is of local historic significance to Moreland City.
Why is it significant?
It is historically significant as one of a small number of houses that provide tangible evidence of the earliest phase of speculative suburban development in Pascoe Vale, which was a response to the opening of Pascoe Vale Station in November 1887. This house is notable as the only one to be constructed on the Pascoe Vale estate in the nineteenth century. (Criteria A & B)

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 24 Fawkner Street, Pascoe Vale, is a Victorian polychrome brick villa. It is block-fronted with a corrugated-metal clad hipped roof. The roof is in an irregular L-shape, indicating that the original extent of the house comprised only the front two rooms, with central corridor, and a rear skillion. The chimneys are also of polychrome brick, with a simple render cap. The facade has a central doorway with sidelights and highlights. The door has two narrow upper panels and a large lower panel, all with cricket-bat mouldings. The cricket-bat moulding in the lower panel is unusually large for a residential door. On the left-hand side of the door is a pair of long double-hung windows. On the right-hand side is a projecting rectangular bay with a pair of long double-hung windows to the front and narrow windows on the sides.
The front verandah, which was reconstructed c.1990s, has a bullnose roof and is supported on turned timber posts with attractive incised timber brackets. It is relatively sympathetic to the house - while this verandah roof profile was popular from around 1890, timber posts and brackets were commonly seen from about 1900. The tessellated tiles with bullnose bluestone edging to the verandah floor and front path are also reconstructed details, which are relatively sympathetic.
The house is in good condition. Other alterations to the house include the sandblasting of the facade bricks, which has been quite damaging. There is also a rear extension on the north side of the house which is sympathetic in form and unobtrusive.
