Statement of Significance
"Hengar" at 356 Glen Eira Road, is a substantial eclectic Gothic Revival residence in polychrome brick understood to have been built in 1889-90 by H.T. H. Langdon for the unmarried and widowed women of his family. It has aesthetic value and historical significance.
Its aesthetic value is derived from the building's expression of the Gothic Revival Style in the late Victorian period whilst its historical importance to Caulfield is provided by its link with the Langdon family (compare "Rosecraddock, "Tarqua" and "Beemery").
