Neville House - Physical Description 1
The house at 96 Kilby Road is one of the earliest examples of brick veneer construction in Melbourne, and is the earliest known example of the coinage of the term 'brick veneer', which appears on the working drawings for the house.3 The term, used by Gawler and Drummond to describe the building technique used for the lower walls of the house, was to become extremely common in the years that followed. Stylistically the house is a good example of a modest house of the mid l920s.
