Statement of Significance
1. Architecturally significant as: an early use of polychrome brick in Victoria; an ecclesiastical style applied to a residence; an example of the now, rare 1860s mansions on large allotments which helped create Hawthorns desirable suburb image.
2. Significant for the association with La Trobe Bateman and the architect Flannagan. A major example of the latters work.
3. Historically significant for its association with a number of well known Hawthorn people, including the builder, Lewis Hatherley; Thomas Lambert, tanner, in the pre-1876 period; Andrew Scott, squatter, in the late 1870s and 1880s; and Major James Burston, malster, from 1891.

Carrigal - Physical Description 1
Only one elevation visible. On-site inspection required to determine extent of additions, stages of the work, and the form of the concealed exterior.
A Gothic revival mansion executed in ecclesiastical polychrome. A tower (now truncated on the roof) is centrally placed in the street facing composition, with an entry at the base, paired window with gothic balustrade to the centre stage and a miniature colonnade on t he truncated third stage. The corners of the tower, the prominent chimneys and the building itself are all quoined in zigzag cream brick. At the gable ends this is translated into triangular shapes in imitation of stone abutment.
A gable wing of three storeys provides one boundary to the composition. At the ground level this includes a bay window, with balcony servicing the first floor above . The openings incorporate banked colours to the brick pointed arches matching the tower. Between this projecting gable wing and the tower is a short verandah. This extends to the opposite side of the tower across the face of a receding gable end wal l. This portion of the verandah may in part be an 1891 addition. The gable wall has no openings at the upper level. It is dominated by a massive chimney breast elaborately patterned in polychrome, and terminated by two superb, decorated chimney pots.
On the side elevation looking towards the river the verandah returns to meet a hipped projecting wing. The remainder of this elevation cannot be viewed.
A fine fence survives. The extent of the Bateman design t o the grounds is not apparent.
