Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The houseat1 Flinders Street, Thornbury, erectedin 1910 for the estate agent, Andrew Miller, in 1910.
How is it significant?
The house at1 Flinders Street, Thornbury is of local aesthetic significance to Darebin City.
Why is it significant?
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) for its unusual symmetrical configuration, this arrangement being the antithesis of the Post Federation villa of the day which established its picturesque character more by a dynamic arrangement of elements than by formalized symmetry. It has a substantial villa form by comparison with contemporary houses in the locale and stands apart, therefore, also in this respect. The elements which reinforce the symmetry of the design are the principal contributory elements.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
An unusual black tuckpointed red brick Post Federation villa now accommodating two dwellings in a symmetrical arrangement, emphasis being given to the composition by means of symmetrically located corner gablets, angled window bays and lozenge shaped windows. The encaustic tiled floor runs across the facade and returns down the sides to the entrances of both dwellings where it is terminated by projecting gable ended wings with window bays. The gable ends are of plain rough cast throughout and there is lead lighting to the casement windows.
