Statement of Significance
1. Architecturally significant if the rear can be shown to be part of the c1860 building. Few buildings of this date survive in Hawthorn.
2. Architecturally significant as a typical example of the villas adapted to a mansion house setting in the southern section of the Auburn Ward in the 1880s.
3. The Wiseman Brothers, prosperous Flinders Lane warehouseman, who extended or, most probably, rebuilt their neighbouring residences, "Widford" and "Kent" (now demolished) about 1883, were typical of the wealthy businessmen with city offices who chose the Tooronga area for their mansion homes. Historically significant.
4. The house has historic significance, also, in the 1920s and later as the home of Constantine Krizos, a medical man from East Turkey who became Honorary Consul for Greece and practised medicine until his death in 1939.

House and stable - Physical Description 1
The c1860 brick house which documents suggest may survive here could well be the rear portion of the building now facing Wiseman Street. This presently comprises a tall hipped roof structure with two chimneys and several openings in a face brick wall now painted. The verandah on this section is clearly new. The original appears to have extended from the main roof pitch and may well have been altered in the 1880s.
The large house attaches to what would once have been the Auburn Road facing front. This comprises a double bayed elevation reflected in the cranked form of the verandahs. The verandah extends on the street side, the other side and the front are indistinctly visible. Requires on-site inspection.
The fine cast iron fence might perhaps have been relocated from Auburn Road.
