Statement of Significance
DEMOLISHED
The site of House, 15 Moore Street has historic significance for the large weatherboard home that may have been designed by architect, Eustace Cohen.
Physical Description
DEMOLISHED
History
House, 15 Moore Street was built c 1920. It is not known if there was an earlier house on the site.
The land was part of the Norwood Park subdivision, which was carved up by Newton Moore and Edwin Herbert in 1896/97. William Stanger, a carter who rented his shop from the Hadlow brothers, purchased the block in January 1898.
House, 15 Moore Street was a spacious weatherboard and iron home, with half-timbered gables, exposed structural timber and other semi-decorative timber work typical of the period.
It has been speculated that it was designed by architect E G Cohen, given the similarity to another of his works at 16 Spencer Street. This would date the building to c 1920.
The house was demolished in 1993 and in 2001, the lot was still vacant. The only visible remains of the earlier use was a Washingtonia Palm tree at the rear of the block.
