Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house at 8 Aintree Street, Brunswick East, built in 1928, is significant. Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 8 Aintree Street, Brunswick East, is of local representative and aesthetic significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
It is significant as a fine and well-detailed example of a weatherboard Californian Bungalow with typical form and detailing including the low-pitched gable-fronted roof with deep eaves with exposed rafter ends that projects to form a full-width verandah supported by half brick piers and paired timber posts. It is notable for the fine quality Arts and Crafts details seen in the timber shingled gable and wide decorative architraves around the gable ventilator, the contrasting soldier course brickwork to the verandah pillars, the carved timber detail between the pairs of timber posts, a half star motif over the double entry doors, and tapered barge boards with rounded ends.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
This detached gable-fronted weatherboard bungalow is located on the eastern side of the street and is set behind a small garden with a hedge at the street edge.
The single fronted weatherboard house has a number of characteristics associated with the Californian Bungalow style, including a low-pitched roof with gabled end, deep eaves with exposed rafter ends, a generous enclosed verandah supported by half brick piers and paired timber posts.
The prominent gable end faces the street and features timber shingle cladding and a gable ventilator with decorative architraves. The gable projects slightly over a solid verandah beam and has a row of timber brackets below. Half brick pillars with paired timber posts are located at each end of the timber verandah. A distinctive carved timber detail sits between the pairs of timber posts, and brick pillars include a soldier course. Barge boards have tapered, rounded ends and protrude past the roof line. A simple brick chimney is evident.
Double entry doors are located to one side of the verandah and are framed by wide decorative timber architraves with a half star over the centre of the opening. Metal screen doors may be original or early. A triple casement window also has wide decorative architraves.
HOUSE - Integrity
The dwelling remains relatively intact. The brick verandah pillars have been over-painted, and the corrugated iron roofing is a recent addition/alteration.
