Statement of Significance
B Listed - Regional Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEBuilt in 1896 for Thomasina Rutherford, this house has regional historical significance as an example of the fine late Victorian , houses constructed in Newtown for affluent owners, and for its associations during the 1920s and 1930s with Tom Bailey Hawkes manufacturer and proprietor of Hawke Bros., a firm of Geelong iron merchants founded in the 1850s which serviced the Geelong and Wimmera districts. It is regionally architecturally significant as an eclectic early Edwardian house. Particularly significant is the rare ridge slate decoration.
