Statement of Significance
Norwood, 14 Auburn Grove, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a generally intact and well executed example of a substantial Victorian house in the Italianate style, which was constructed in an area of Hawthorn where some considerable residential subdivision and development occurred in the 1880s. The front garden setback is of generous proportions and serves to highlight and give prominence to the building and its handsome facade within the streetscape context. The facade is also distinguished by the relatively unusual use of square-headed windows.

Norwood - Physical Description 1
Norwood, 14 Auburn Grove, Hawthorn East, is an externally generally intact and substantial Italianate villa of stuccoed brick with a canted west bay and a verandah with a non-original (but sympathetic) lace balustrade and iron posts.[i] The verandah cornice is dentilled, and the verandah roof is galvanized iron. The main roof is clad with slate, and has galvanized iron ridge-capping and stuccoed chimneys with prominent cornices. The eaves are boxed, with intermittent paired brackets. The footings and verandah base are exposed bluestone, dressed on the verandah and with rough-cut ashlar on the footings. The window openings are all square-topped, with double-hung timber sashes, and the reveals chamfered to points just above and below the sills and heads. The front door case appears original; the screen door is a 1900s -1920s pattern, likely to be reproduction. The garden has some eucalypt plantings and shrubs; the side fences are standard palings while the front picket fence is of fairly recent date.
[i] From details sourced from the City of Hawthorn Building index, Permit #15682, dated 1980, the iron verandah posts were proposed to be replaced with timber posts. This has not been confirmed.
