Statement of Significance
What is significant?
781 Glenferrie Road is a single-storey rendered brick double-fronted building comprising two prominent bay window forms, which flank a recessed porch. The building has a hipped roof of terracotta tile, wholly concealed by a distinctive rendered bow-fronted parapet, which curves upward over each of the bay windows and features gridded square perforations, capped with a band of render.
The facade is of over-painted rendered brick, with wide-jointed rustication to present as masonry block work with the end walls extending this treatment to parapet height. The window bays each comprise five timber-framed leaded casement windows with arched heads.
How is it significant?
781 Glenferrie Road is of local historical and aesthetic (architectural) significance to the City of Boroondara.
Why is it significant?
The dentist surgery at 781 Glenferrie Road Hawthorn is of aesthetic (architectural) significance as a highly unusual design combining components of the Arts and Crafts free styles, including curving casement bays, brick and rendered brick lattice grilles and Art Nouveau detailing, with components of the English Renaissance Revival or Edwardian Baroque Revival, in this case expressed through the central entry with its heavily voussoired arched form. It is highly intact externally and a very distinctive element in this streetscape.
