COOLARIN - Historical Australian Themes
Like Northcote and Preston, the most intensive development in Heidelberg occurred in the 1920s. Between 1921 and 1933, 3,151 houses were constructed in the Shire. These years saw the development of the estates, such as the Chelsworth Estate, sold before and during World War One.

COOLARIN - Physical Description 1
BUILDINGS: Coolarin is an eclectic, rendered brick inter-War villa. The house is 'L' shaped in plan with a steep, cement tiled, gabled roof to each arm. At the corner of the 'L' is a bold semi-circular porch with pressed cement Tuscan columns, above which is a weatherboarded attic with a wide overhanging skillion roof.
The house possesses a number of idiosyncratic details, such as the narrow band of river stones set in the otherwise smooth rendered walls, the French cartouche wall vents, the raised rendered squares above the windows, the pointed roof rafter-ends exposed at the eaves, the odd chimney shape and the unusual pierced brackets supporting the attic roof. These are combined with more typical elements such as the semi-circular window bay at the corner and the double-hung sash windows. The fence is of a later date. LANDSCAPE: Coolarin has a semi-exotic setting, with its palm and an 'Albertii' (Cordyline australis).COOLARIN - Intactness
