Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, constructed c.1886, at 31 Burnell Street, Brunswick West is significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 31 Burnell Street is of local historic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
The house at 31 Burnell Street is historically significant as one of the earliest dwellings constructed within this part of Brunswick and provides rare evidence of the limited development associated with the speculative residential subdivisions of the mid-1880s. While several houses were built in the late nineteenth century on the Melville Manor estate, many have been demolished or altered and those that remain relatively intact were constructed during the 1890s.

Victorian house
HOUSE - Physical Description 2
This is a double fronted single-storey late Victorian house constructed of bi-chrome brick with a M-hip roof clad in corrugated iron. The symmetrical facade contains a central door with a top light, flanked by double hung timber sash windows with stone sills. Although fully detached, it has a terrace house form with the verandah enclosed by wing walls at both ends. The verandah, which may have been reconstructed, has a cast iron frieze and chamfered timber posts. Other original features include the decorative quoining created by the bichromatic brickwork around the openings, a bi-chromatic chimney with a bracketed cornice, rendered vermiculated panels and small scrolls to the verandah walls.
The roof cladding to both the main building and the verandah appears to be relatively new and the side walls, the lower part of the front walls (including the window sills) have been painted. There is a recent front fence, verandah decking and timber pathway/ramp.
