Statement of Significance
Significance of Individual Property
1. Despite an awkward composition, Colthurst is a fine example of the public face of wealthy society in the 1880s. exuberant, showy and highly visible.
2. An important component of the Burke Road, boulevard streetscene.
The Burke Road Precinct, Camberwell/Hawthorn East, is an area of heritage significance for the following reason:
- The stretch of residential development on Burke Road hill (south of Camberwell Junction) combines small numbers of Victorian and Federation houses with a series of interwar residences and flat blocks. These are interspersed with later development including undistinguished buildings of post-WWII period. The area has retained a consistent residential scale, despite being adjacent to a major retail and business centre and on a major road.
