Brundah is a heritage-listed private residence at 37 Norton Street, Ballina, in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1908. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]
Brundah was built in 1908 for the Lang family of Ballina. Roy Lang was a prominent local auctioneer, estate agent and produce agent whose business extended across the Richmond Valley. It was built shortly after his marriage to Charlotte Robson of Tucki. The cost of building the house totalled £556.[2][1]
The original property comprised 0.4 hectares, half of which was sold following Roy Lang's death in 1946. The house remained in the Lang family until the death of Charlotte Lang in 1980, aged 101.[1]
Description
_(5045519b1).jpg)
A large intact Federation style timber house with encircling verandahs located on a prominent corner position. It is a single storey building elevated on stumps and has a multi-gabled galvanised iron roof. Elaborate lattice and timber detailing around the verandah combine with adjustable timber venetians to modify the basic design to suit the climate. The mature garden is intact and along with the perimeter fence enhances the aesthetic qualities of the house. The roof has also been utilised as a living space.[2][1]
The property also contains four Canary Island date palms (Phoenix canariensis) which are old and significant growing at the front of the house, a line of Cabbage tree palms (Livistona australis) and Cocos Island palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana), and an original Hibiscus sp. shrub to the south of the house.[1]
It was reported as being in good physical condition as at 4 March 1998.[1]
