Statement of Significance
The house at 27 Marshall Avenue, along with the frontfence and a small garage,was designed in 1929 by architect Mee Ah Mouy. Original plans are held in the collection of Melbourne's Chinese Museum.

Born in Melbourne, he was the son of tea merchant and entrepreneur Louis Ah Mouy, and trained at the Working Men's College (now RMIT).
