Statement of Significance
49 Walsh Street, Coburg, is of local architectural significance. It is a good example of a substantially intact Edwardian villa, which has become a local landmark due to its incorporation of unusual architectural elements, in particular the tower and attic storey. Its significance is enhanced by the intactness of the house, garden and front fence.
NOTE: This house was extant in 2007, but had been demolished by 2014.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
49 Walsh Street, Coburg, is a single storey Edwardian timber-framed villa. It has painted stucco walls and a painted corrugated iron hipped roof which embraces a rear-facing attic. It has an unusual pressed metal candle-snuffer tower and tall red brick chimneys with terracotta chimney-pots. The return verandah, beneath the main roof, has an original decorative deep timber frieze and turned timber posts. The windows are casements; some of the glazing is missing and has been replaced with opaque sheeting. A window bay on the south elevation retains original flat sheet iron roofing. A timber-framed lean-to addition (c.1940s) stretches between the east wall of the house and the side fence. The roofing iron and some of the window joinery may retain original colour schemes.
The original fence and gates have been retained; the fence now supports a hedge. Much of the original garden also remains.
