Amendment C 29 Comment Significance (Mapped as a Significant heritage property.) This Spanish Mission style house is of architectural interest as well as part of the group of houses illustrating the variety of styles and types of housing at the time. Following the closure of Brunning's Nursery in 1926, the land was subdivided and these houses built, now forming a key part of the Los Angeles/Glen Eira Road conservation area.

Description Style : Spanish Mission One storey residence Original owner: C.J.Nankervis (Robert Peck Von Hartel Trethowan City of St Kilda, Twentieth Century Architectural Study,1992)
Architects Schreiber and Jorgensen designed this building for C.J. Nankervis. Given the two sets of drawings and the severe economic depression at the time, construction may not have taken place immediately after granting of the building permit. From the end of 1929 till the middle of 1932, only one other house was built in the street (no. 2 in 1931), whereas three houses were built in 1932. (David Bick, St. Kilda Conservation Study, 1985)
