Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Julian St Jefferies House at Surrey Hills was designed for St Jefferies and his wife in 1924 by Walter Burley Griffin. The house utilises the 'knitlock' construction system patented by Griffin in 1917, a precast concrete block and roof-cast system.
How is it significant?
The Julian St Jefferies House is of historic, architectural and technological significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Julian St Jefferies House is of historic importance to Victoria because of its association with Walter Burley Griffin and his attempts to introduce the innovative 'knitlock' prefabricated construction system to domestic housing construction in Australia. It is important because it demonstrates the technically innovative construction method introduced by Griffin in the early twentieth century. It is important as a place demonstrating Griffin's contribution to affordable, simply-designed domestic architecture. The house is also important in exhibiting the simple detailing employed by Griffin, particularly through the joinery, fitting and fixture details incorporated in the house.
