Statement of Significance
HO162 Sackville Street Precinct, Kew
The Sackville Street Precinct, Kew, is an area of heritage significance for the following reasons:
- The place contains a number of individually significant mansions generally dating from the late Victorian period, set on generous allotments. These are supported, visually, by a series of smaller houses which range in date from the Victorian era to the Federation and interwar periods. There are several pleasant houses from the post- WWII period.
- As is the case for Harcourt Street Hawthorn (HO151), the area is important for its ability to demonstrate a pattern of early mansion development supplemented by smaller houses added from the Federation through to more recent periods.
- The area is notable for its imposing envelope of street trees which arch over the street for most of its length, and for its large and mature gardens.

Pomeroy (formerly) - Physical Description 1
In November 1883 tenders were called for the construction of a large two-storey brick residence for John Mickleburgh [3 ], an insurance company manager, and his two-storey boom mansion was given an initial N.A.V. of £180 in March 1885 [4 ]. Following Mickleburgh's death in 1904 the property was purchased by Louisa Hunt [5 ]. Due to limited visibility of the house, the description of the house by the Australian Heritage Commission is given here: '... Two storeyed in height, the building is faced by a double storeyed, arched, colonnade, supported on Corinthian columns and terminated by corner piers. The arcade returns down one side, giving the house an asymmetrical disposition. Escutcheons form keystones to the arches and the columns have barley-sugar type shafts. There is a small light well in the entrance.'
