| What is significant? The house, constructed in 1913-14 by Thomas H. Jones for Richard and Ethel Bishop, at 42 Brown Street, Leongatha is significant. It is a Federation/Edwardian timber bungalow. Asymmetrical in plan, it has a steeply pitched hip roof with a gablet, projecting gables to the front and on the west side, and a separate return verandah contained between the bays, which is supported by original turned timber posts (the brackets are sympathetic, but not original). The house is clad in square-edged weatherboards and there are small, half timbered 'flying' gables and notched weatherboards (to resemble shingling) in the gable ends. There are paired double-hung sash windows to the front bay, and two box bay windows with triple casement windows with toplights to the front and side walls under the verandah, and the original front door has sidelights and highlights (the leadlight glass is not original, but the coloured glass to the corner toplights is). There are two tall corbelled brick chimneys with rendered caps. Non-original alterations and additions to the house, the garage and other buildings on the site are not significant. How is it significant? The house at 42 Brown Street, Leongatha is of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire. Why is it significant? Historically, it is associated with an important phase of growth in Leongatha during the early twentieth century and demonstrates the houses associated with small farms on the edge of the township. (Criteria A & D) Aesthetically, it is a fine and well-detailed example of a Federation/Edwardian timber bungalow with characteristic form and detailing. Of note are the 'flying' half timbered gable ends and bay windows. (Criterion E) |
