Statement of Significance
151 Brackenbury Street (1940?) is of local architectural and historical significance as a particularly intact characteristic work by the local female builder, Alexa Goyder. It exemplifies her creative contribution to the building tradition of Warrandyte and its system exemplifies what is described by Robin Boyd in Australia's Home (1952) as "the Warrandyte Style".
