General notes:
Period: EdwardianConstruction date: c1912History:The house at 31 Kensington Road was constructed c.1912. It is first listed in the Sands & McDougall directory in 1913, when the occupant was Alfred O Chapple, who remained there until at least 1920..Description:The house at 31 Kensington Road is a single-storey weatherboard Edwardian villa with a hipped and gabled corrugated galvanised steel roof. L-shaped in plan, the projecting bay is gabled and the adjacent verandah has turned timber posts and a timber fretted frieze. Windows to the bay are timber-framed casements with highlights. Chimneys are red brick with terracotta pots..Significance:The house at 31 Kensington Road, Kensington, is of local historical and aesthetic interest. The house is representative of the development in the area in the early twentieth century. Aesthetically, the house is an intact example of the Edwardian timber villas which were constructed in this part of Kensington in the 1910s. The house is a contributory element in a largely intact streetscape.
