Key features of a period home
Melburnians have a long-standing love affair with heritage architecture. The city's landscape is studded with different cultural and historical influences from throughout the ages.

Decorative cornices and architraves
Your period home may have beautiful ceiling roses, ornate skirting boards, or architraves from the pre-World War II era.

Terracotta roof tiles and embellishments
If you look across the city, you can identify some period style homes by their steeply pitched roofs, comprising terracotta tiles and ridge cappings, finials, dragons, and gargoyles.

Unique porches and verandahs
Depending on when your home was built, it may feature spiral columns, boarded window shutters and balconettes, or L-shaped verandahs with timber embellishments and fretwork.
