Statement of Significance

Ronberg House has some historic significance as one of the older houses remaining in Denham. Further, the place has considerable streetscape and townscape appeal, given its prominent position, its small scale, simple style and use of construction materials. Together with other houses in Knight Terrace, Ronberg House is evidence of earlier types of construction in Denham.

Physical Description

Fronting almost up to the building line of Knight Terrace, this prominently situated house is timber framed and clad with horizontal corrugated iron to the main section and fibro to the rear addition. Originally a two-roomed house, the building has been extended to the rear. The original section has a steeply pitched corrugated iron gable roof with a broken back verandah roof to the front (west) elevation. The verandah has been enclosed with glass to provide for additional living space. The fibro extension to the rear features awnings to the side windows. The whole building is painted green. There is a low concrete rendered wall which separates the house from the street.

History

Ronberg House was built c. 1919 for William Hoult, son of William Jarvis Hoult. The house derives its name from another owner of the place, John Ronberg.
