| Significance of Individual Property 1. Architecturally significant as one of few flat front villa designs in Hawthorn Grove, it illustrates the second basic pattern from which the garden villa evolves. Hawthorn Grove is perhaps the best Victorian period garden villa street in Melbourne. This unusual example adds to its diversity and the understanding of its origins. 2. Constructed in 1894, "Chasecote" has historical significance as an example of the work of the local builder, James Bishop, and for its associations in the late 1890s and later with the notable Melbourne architect, Frederick Fitts. HO152 Grace Park and Hawthorn Grove Precincts, Hawthorn The Grace Park and Hawthorn Grove Precincts, Hawthorn, are of heritage significance for the following reasons: - The place is a concentrated and relatively intact precinct of generally high quality residential buildings of the later Victorian and Federation periods. - Hilda Crescent has an unbroken set of highly distinctive Federation house designs, and the mode continues in the adjacent streets. - The area is characterised by mature gardens and street trees, filtering the light in the more southern streets, south of Kinkora Road, and giving the area a distinctive shaded character. - The diagonal house compositions and curving streets in the Grace Park Precinct combine to create an informal and picturesque character. - The northern section - Kinkora Road and Hawthorn Grove - has a large concentration of 1880s housing in tighter patterns that are similarly characteristic of that earlier era, and is relatively intact. These streets were the first typically-scaled suburban development in Hawthorn, in contrast to the St James Park area which began as a mansion group. - The Barkers Road section is more heterogeneous, but does incorporate several notable Federation and Bungalow designs. Clovelly Court is an impressive apartment group utilising garden villa forms, comparing with both the courtyard flats in the Fairview Park Precinct (HO148) and the more similar Corsewall Close (HO149). - Located at the southern end of the precinct, the Michael Tuck Stand at the Glenferrie Oval is striking both for the way it draws on its red-brick domestic surroundings as it is for its 1938 modernity. - The precinct is visually unified by the shared, curving park based around the former Kew Railway line, that runs though the entire precinct from south to north and reads as a reminder of the precinct's early popularity as a commuter suburb. |
