Statement of Significance
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as an eloquent though somewhat belated example of the Streamlined Moderne mode in the Municipality, possibly sympathetically extended and important also for its exploitation of Art Deco themes.
This importance is enhanced by its prominent corner location on North Road, no. 705 comparing in the Municipality with ''Linlithgow'' (1938) at No.4 Linlithgow Avenue, Caulfield North and nos. 195 and 197 Hawthorn Road, also in Caulfield North.

705 North Road - Physical Description 1
An extraordinary and prominently situated ostentatious two storeyed Streamlined Modeme villa using Art Deco ornamentation and having a waterfall front with curved windows and porch. The variegated and banded cream bricks contrast with black manganese bricks to the striking Modeme chimneys, sills and front fence. There is a curved parapet to the ground floor with Modeme and Art Deco details and an unusual waterfall form treatment to the walls that confine the upper level balcony which has a curved sun hood to the windows and doors. Wrought iron screens, balustrade and front gate are also expressive of the Art Deco movement and there is a port hole window beside the entry in the manner of the period.
