Statement of Significance
1. Architecturally significant for the rare use of streamline design for a single dwelling in Melbourne. The use of dark manganese glaze bricks, is also unusual. Substantially intact.
2. The original house by Sydney Smith and Ogg may add to the significance internally.
3. One of very few houses constructed in Hawthorn around the Second World War.

38 Berkeley Street - Physical Description 1
A "Streamline Moderne" house alteration, to what is probably an equally interesting original house by Sydney, Smith and Ogg. The return verandah of the earlier house has been enclosed with a parapeted wall of glazed bricks, curved at the corners, and embellished with horizontal emphasis by a rendered string course and polychrome parapet course. The original gables of the earlier building are repeated in the scheme. Curved glass and metal frames are used to windows. A full view of the design is not possible from the street. Internal and on-site inspection recommended.
The fence and hedge appear to be contemporary with the 1939 alteration.
