| STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The house at 8 Normanby Street, East Geelong, has significance as a predominantly intact example of the Edwardian style. Built in 1913-14 for Ivo Scott, the house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street. The house at 8 Normanby Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of the Edwardian style. These qualities include the dominant gable roof form on an east-west axis, together with two minor gables that projects towards the front and at the side (towards the rear), and the return hipped roof verandah formed under the main gable. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the asymmetrical composition, predominantly single storey height, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, corrugated profile to the roof cladding, wide eaves with exposed timber rafters, projecting bowed bays under the minor gables with conical roofs, bayed banks of timber framed casement windows with highlights above, other timber framed windows at the front, side boxed timber framed double hung windows, front timber framed doorway, grouped timber verandah columns (with timber geometric fretwork between), weatherboard verandah balustrade, stuccoed gabled infill, skillion dormer in the main gable, and the decorative window leadlighting. The front timber picket fence and front garden also contribute to the significance of the place. The house at 8 Normanby Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in East Geelong during the Edwardian period (c.1890-1915). In particular, this house has associations with Ivo Scott, clerk and original owner who had it built in 1913-14. Overall, the house at 8 Normanby Street is of LOCAL significance.
