Statement of Significance
The hillside siting and the narrow frontage of the house create a dramatic skyline which underscores the romantic and historical associations arising from its long association with Pitt and Q'Dowd, two of Australia's better known poets. Their role in the development of the socialist movement in Victoria was an important phase of Victoria's political history, which similarly reflects much of North's own left politician sympathies this century.
