HOUSE - Historical Australian Themes
It was common for successful Melbourne businessmen and their families to move to Banyule in the early 20th century as the area settled into becoming one of Melbourne's more affluent suburbs. 9 Upper Heidelberg Road is one of the many substantial villas erected during that period.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
BUILDINGS: 9 Upper Heidelberg Road is a large, asymmetrically planned red brick house with a hipped and gabled terracotta tiled roof and a two storey return verandah, angled at the corner. The verandah is supported on rendered, squat Ionic columns, with bowed cement rendered balustrading. A curved stair provides access to the ground floor level of the verandah. Windows are leadlighted double-hung sashes and the tall red brick chimney stacks have terracotta chimney pots. LANDSCAPE: Cookes' garden was extensive, with rockery borders and flowering shrub beds including dahlia and roses. It was often pictured in the national publication, The Home Gardener and, before development, the 'axe-handle' site covered a substantial area. Some of these beds survive, fronting the house, now elevated, whilst the original pergola portal, with new gates, survives at the front entrance in addition to a mature hedge.
