Heritage Impact Assessment for relocation of Character House (Rev. C)
45 Maple Street, Cooroy
For: Medicentre No. 2 Pty Ltd



   In order to clearly identify the transition of the subject character house from its original built form as an
   Asymmetrical Bungalow with L-shaped verandah through the addition of a side sleepout addition along
   the southern side and eventually incorporating a rear addition to accommodate the WC / Bathroom and
   laundry, the following series of photographs provide definitive guidance in this regard. I also refer to my
   recent inspection of the subject character house on 20 February 2020, which afforded me the
   opportunity to investigate the various phases of development inherent in the current configuration of
   this house.
   Following on from the inspection of the subject house, it is considered that the residence at 45 Maple
   Street was originally constructed as an Asymmetrical Bungalow with wraparound (or L-shaped) verandah
   – see Figure 11 below.




   Figure 11: Extract from a traditional house typology reference guide identifying the original core of the subject house as a
   variant of the Asymmetrical Bungalow with L-shaped verandah style of traditional house typology. Note that this style of
   residential construction was popular across South East Queensland from the Federation era until the 1930s so a more precise
   date of construction would be difficult to ascertain.
