Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, built by 1938 for Joseph Edward Miller, and the low rendered front and side fence at 59 Moore Street, Moonee Ponds is significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 59 Moore Street, Moonee Ponds is of local aesthetic significance to the City of Moonee Valley.
Why is it significant?
This importance (Criterion E) is derived from the manner in which it expresses the popular stylistic devices of the period including the central porch and "rustic" brickwork contrasting with substantial areas of stucco work, commonplace during the 1930s. The massing of the elements around the semi-circular porch is contributory along with the front fence and the high level of integrity both of the house and its setting.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
An unusually imposing inter war villa with symmetrically arranged facade consisting of hipped roofed "pavilions" flanking a semi circular porch with pilasters, curved parapet wall and wrought iron screens using patterns popular at the time. Stuccoed walls are relieved with dark brown bricks to the plinth and corners where they form "rustic" pattems in the manner of the period. The house is complemented by a low rendered front fence with stepped dwarf piers. The house is in good condition and has a relatively high degree of external integrity.
