Statement of Significance
The house at 19 Alleyene Avenue is locally significant historically and architecturally because:
- The distinctive architectural styling of the house expresses the early and significant Japanese influence on the development of the Californian Bungalow in Australia.
- Examples of the Japanese Bungalow style are rare within the mainstream of Californian Bungalow style houses built in Australia

Ahlston Lea House - Physical Description 1
(as assessed from the street)
This is a red brick and stucco gabled roof house, with unglazed Marseilles pattern terra-cotta roof tiles, timber framed windows and doors, shingled gable ends, expressed rafter ends, and a stucco and brick pier and panel front fence, with scrolled metal framed chain-wire gate.
A Californian Bungalow in terms of the generic style, 19 Alleyne Avenue is a Japanese of Far Eastern substyle of the group. This is expressed by the flared shingle-clad hood over the window bay, lattice gable-end roof vents, strutted eaves, the capped chimney shafts with the elegant single terra-cotta chimney pot, tapered caps to the fence piers and slatted eaves brackets. The overlapping roof gables are typical of the Californian Bungalow but the shallow roof angle and sliced fascia-ends in this example evoke the strong Japanese influence on the development of the generic Bungalow form in North America and later Australia.
