HOUSE AT 2 Linton Avenue - Physical Description 1
The house at 2 Linton Avenue, Lower Templestowe, is a large clinker-brick, double-fronted California Bungalow with a roof of Marseilles tile. The main gable roof runs along the facade, which faces High Street. A minor gable projects forward at the left and is decorated with halftimbering and roughcast. The major roof sweeps past as a verandah, supported by precast Tuscan columns on a solid brick balustrade. The double front door and upper window sashes feature geometric-patterned leaded glass. There are window hoods with simple brackets on the side elevation (on Linton Ave).
According to an earlier description, there was a wire-mesh fence between brick piers, which has been removed. The bricks of the side elevations have been painted white.
The house is one of a small number of intact Inter-War houses in the study area. Comparable examples include 'Caringa' at 1 Monckton Road, and 478-482 Doncaster Road. At least three similar Inter-War houses identified by the 1991 Study have been demolished.
