| Registered as Victorian heritage |
| Not completed, access required - Provisional B Grading This house is massively altered from its original Victorian form, but has been assessed by Conservation Architect, Meredith Gould (refer attached citation) as being of significance as an example of an interwar remodelling of a Victorian residence. Because of the particular nature of this assessment and the limited nature of available documentation (photographs and drawings), it is more difficult in this case to review significance (without inspecting the building) than is the case of other obscured properties in this Review. Accordingly, it is proposed to adopt the Gould recommendation in its current form. Following is the Meredith Gould recommendation (refer to attached citation): Whilst the original Victorian period mansion is clearly altered, the simple but elegant overlay of the then current fashion by Billson is substantially intact. Many Hawthorn mansions were altered for flats during the 1920s and 1930s. A large proportion were later demolished or have been returned to their original form. Few show so clearly, the public's change in taste, away from the Victorian decorative approach which is so popular again today, to a simpler, more austere form. The building is of metropolitan significance for its illustration of changes in fashion in the 1930s in Melbourne, and the restrained, elegant work of Billson.
