Statement of Significance
1. Architecturally significant as one of the finest Californian Bungalows in Hawthorn, a building type extensively used in the period between the wars. An excellent example at the metropolitan level and substantially intact.

77 St Helens Road - Physical Description 1
A superb Californian bungalow with wide verandah stretching across the frontage and returning on each side. The roof is hipped terracotta tiles with a gable let in centrally. This still retains its dark oiled shingles. The verandah is formed by heavy masonry piers comprising a brick base and tapering rendered upper section. At each end these are open between to give access to the verandah. Elsewhere a balustrade is formed by brickwork with a swagged render capping. The fence is similarly detailed with an open render paired between the piers.
A broad return drive sweeps from one side to the other. The main body of the house is concealed by the deep verandah. An extensive but sympathetic alteration has occurred at the rear to form an upper level.
