Statement of Significance
What is Significant?
The house at 27 Canterbury Road, Camberwell, built for Ernest A Goss, law clerk, and his wife Ethel in 1918 by builder Mr Stephenson. It is an Arts & Crafts attic bungalow with a Federation influence to the details. The house is significant to the extent of its original fabric, with later additions and alterations of no significance.
The outbuilding at the rear, believed to be the former garage, with brick walls and half-timbering to the gable, is contributory.
How is it significant?
The house is of local architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Boroondara.
Why is it significant?
The house at 27 Canterbury Road is a large and architecturally successful attic-style bungalow. Within the City of Boroondara it is one of the first examples of this type to be built; a house type that became very popular by the early 1920s. Its massing skilfully responds to its corner site with a progression of major and minor gables, one sheltering a return verandah and a bay window on a diagonal axis. The house has the simplified, high-gabled roof form of the Arts & Crafts attic bungalow, and an Arts & Crafts palette of 'honest' materials with contrasting textures, including red brick, roughcast render, and timber shingles. The remaining influence of the Federation style is seen in the use of Tuscan verandah columns, floral leadlight windows, chimneys and roof finials. One of the most striking elements of the design is the impressive round brick arch at the entrance. Overall the materials and detailing are of very high quality, particularly the moulded brick stringcourse, and the multiplicity of cladding materials and window types. (Criteria D and E)
