Statement of Significance
This Toorak house has state architectural significance as most probably an example of a residence designed by Harold Desbrowe-Annear a highly innovative Victorian architect whose work was popular with wealthy residents in Melbourne in the 1920s, and which is exemplified in several residences in the Toorak area. 'fhe building contains research value. If' the architect is confirmed as Desbrowe-Annear, this confirms the state level of architectural significance of the building which could be considered to be an unusual example of his work, of smaller scale than many of his commissions and featuring window and porte cochere treatment which differs slightly from his commonly recognised motifs of the patented sash windows and elliptical window decoration. Should further research reveal the architect to be a lesser known designer, the building has regional significance as an example of domestic architecture influenced by the Georgian Revival and Desbrowe-Annear's work. The property has local has historical significance for its associations with the Merfields, an interesting district family.
