Asbestos in Glen Iris Homes
Glen Iris is characterised by California bungalows, interwar brick homes, and post-war houses that have been renovated and extended many times over. Even where the original structure predates asbestos cement, later additions — bathrooms, laundries, sleep-outs, garages, and eaves — frequently contain asbestos materials that surface once renovation work begins.
