Statement of Significance

This two storey brick, render, timber and tile residence, in an
indeterminate style, most akin to a two storey InterWar
version of a Federation Bungalow style, has cultural
significancebecause:
it has historical associations with Dorothy Huon,
daughter of Sir J J Talbot Hobbs;
it is located opposite the entry to the site of 'The
Bungalow' and is part of a cultural group;
it is a technical successor to two notable George
TemplePoole projects;
it is a rare example of its style and period.

Physical Description

The place is a very plain, unostentatious, although
substantial, residence which appears to be in sympathy with
the atmosphere of the time at the beginning of the Great
Depression.

History

The place was possibly designed by Sir J J Talbot, more
likely it was designed by his office, for Hobbs' daughter
Dorothy and her husband Sydney Huon. The place stands
opposite the entrance to the Hobbs' family estate 'The
Bungalow'. Somehistorical significance.

Integrity/Authenticity

This two storey residence appears to follow a pattern for the
design of two storeyresidences established by GeorgeTemple
Poole in the Success Hill Residence and the former
Claremont Police Station. In each of these cases a
lightweight upper floor was placed over a masonry lower
floor and the upper floor was ventilated from floor to eaves
through the wall construction. This residence uses the same
principle. It retains a high level of integrity.
