Statement of Significance
Significance of Individual Property
1. Architecturally significant for the early use of a reduced version of the 1870s Melbourne mansion house with a cast iron verandah. This form type became very common in Hawthorn in the 1880s and 1890s.
2. Associated with the eminent architect Billings and with early Hawthorn resident A.J.Smith.
HO146 Central Gardens Precinct, Hawthorn
The Central Gardens Precinct, Hawthorn, is an area of heritage significance for the following reasons:
- The place is characterised by modest Victorian brick and timber workers' houses (either attached or detached), most dating from the 1880s and 1890s, some of which were constructed to accommodate employees working at the newly constructed railway terminal adjacent to Auburn Road. Later housing within the area includes interesting examples of small scale and duplex Bungalow variants.
- The place includes the Central Gardens parkland, demonstrating the practice of providing municipal facilities in areas of workers' housing.
