Statement of Significance
Architecturally, a skillful three-dimensional composition using a blend of popular suburban styles to create, an original and dominant flat block also by the noted architect, James Wardrop.
Historically, of local interest as a sizeable and innovative speculation by a local resident and exemplifies the higher housing densities sought in the study area around World War Two.

FLATS - Physical Description 1
Like the house at183 Cashmere Street (refer to the separate Hermes place record), gabled and curved forms are mixed skillfully in a stylistic combination which contains some of the popular neo-Tudor (gable, clinker brickwork), a dash of Moderne (rounded forms and two-colour brickwork) and details from the Bungalow (bracketted porch roofs and eaves). Corner cantilevering balconies are both spectacular and novel whilst more fully rounded profiles to the lower terraces relate to the mass of the main building and to the form of the balconies.
Garages at the frontage have useful flat roofs, help in the graduation of scale and conceal the intrusive car in a way which empathises with nearby suburban customs. Remnant hedges and planting are apparent.
Good integrity. Dominant scale, but set-back materials and form relate to the later stages of Travancore's development.
