House- 8 GREENHAM STREET

Statement of Significance

Although somewhat compromised in terms of integrity this house contributes to the street and also «
demonstrates the capacity for places of middle order heritage value to accept change.

Physical Description

An early c 1909-10 bungalow with "Arts and Crafts" overtones with a verandah across half the front and
down the west side. The latter supported on heavy battered piers and posts. The walls are painted brick
with stucco strings, sills and scrolls. Windows are in groups of three or two and are side-hung
casements. There is a roundel by the front door with stained glass. A first floor has been added in
1991-2.

History

The current owners came to lease the house in 1976. Some interior work was done at that time. An extension had
already been undertaken before this of a laundry, a new kitchen and shower. A verandah was also constructed. The
old verandah became a family room. In 1991-2 major extensions designed to be in sympathy to the house were
undertaken by the architect Caroline Marshall. These comprised a second storey, and modifications to the ground floor
and were for D.M. Symington who purchased the house c1981.
