Statement of Significance
What is significant?
This is a textured stucco and weatherboard Edwardian-era Bijou Villa as defined by Robin Boyd in his `Australia's Home', showing Indian and Asian influences. The house has a gabled Marseilles pattern terra-cotta tile clad main roof, with a projecting gabled room bay and jettied gable valence, plus a gablet at the verandah corner and half-timbered gable ends. The verandah, has stout timber posts and a distinctive Indian character verandah frieze with an arched slatted frieze infill. The projecting room bay has a tiled window hood with a paling pattern timber frieze and leadlight glazing. Chimneys are squat and stuccoed with simple cement capping. In the early 1900s just two persons lived in this street, Hugh Carroll and Walter Clayton, with five there by the end of the First War. Henry J Sutton and then Miss H Sutton were long term owners. The Sutton family had lived in Alphington over a long period, having previously lived in Bairnsdale to at least 1903.
