Statement of Significance
1. Of State significance for the Victorian villa garden with accompanying house.
2. Architecturally significant for the early use of the double cranked verandah, and the use of this design in timber construction. Possibly the most elaborate timber building in Hawthorn.
3. Built in 1881-82 for and by Thomas Barrett, a major Hawthorn builder and land developer, this symmetrical Victorian villa has historical significance for its associations with Barrett. By 1888, Barrett owned some thirty Hawthorn properties and built many houses in John and Rathmines Road, Elphin Grove, and Victoria, Lyndhurst, Invermay, Riversdale, Camberwell, Temple and Burwood Roads. Barrett became Mayor of Hawthorn in mid 1887 and was a J.P.

71 Liddiard Street - Physical Description 1
A substantial allotment with an extensive Victorian period, villa style garden. The weatherboard house is set well back from the road to feature the mansion house sized garden. (See following private garden P.I.F.).
The house is symmetrical about the front door with flanking bay windows. The cast iron verandah reflects the bay window form. Verandah columns are paired and the decorative treatment incorporates the (by that time old fashioned) use of a timber valence frame. The verandah returns on each side.
The roof is hipped slate, with bracketed eaves. Facetted hip projections occur over each bay.
