Statement of Significance
HO150 Glenferrie Road Precinct, Kew
The Glenferrie Road Precinct, Kew, is an area of heritage significance for the following
reasons:
-The western parts of this precinct are marked by mansion development of the
Victorian period, and though some are surrounded by unsympathetic later
development, a significant number of individually significant early Kew mansions
survive here, albeit in some cases converted to institutional uses. This is one of three
notable mansion precincts in Kew, the others being HO158 (Walmer Street) and
HO162 (Sackville Street).
- The eastern section of the precinct is significant for its mixture of small and medium
scale Victorian housing, much of which relates to two important 1880s estates:
Edgevale and Doona Hill.
- The area has a strong visual connection with several fine assemblages of school
buildings: either in its midst (Ruyton) or at its borders (Trinity, Xavier, Methodist
Ladies' College).
- The area includes the former Kew civic buildings and the Sacred Heart Church and
School, both in Cotham Road, the latter important to the considerable Roman Catholic
heritage in the area.
- The area also includes the entire Glenferrie Road streetscape north of Barkers Road up
to Wellington Street, including two of MLC's most important buildings and a mixed
1880s to interwar streetscape.
- The area includes a number of individually significant architectural designs, the
majority of which are Victorian mansions.
