Statement of Significance
Significance of Individual Property
1. This double storeyed brick villa constructed in 1889-91 has historical significance as a fine example of the large villas and small mansion houses in garden settings constructed in the late 1880s and early 1890s for wealthy local residents (mainly business and professional men and their families) in middle-class suburban Hawthorn. It has significance for its associations with two prominent businessmen, at first with Sir Thomas Vasey, Secretary of the Metropolitan Gas Company and, from the turn of the century, with Sir William McPherson, leading businessman, Premier and philanthropist. This substantial residence is located in an important area distinguished by the number of surviving Victorian villas and small mansions in garden settings, which include the notable 1850s "Auburn House" at 4 Goodall Street, and the two-storeyed villa at 12 Goodall Street (completed 1892).
2. Architecturally significant as an early example of the wide ranging experimentation with red brick forms in the late nineteenth century, eventually leading to a truly Australian style in the domestic Queen Anne.HO164 Leslie Street Precinct, Hawthorn
The Leslie Street Precinct, Hawthorn, which includes both Leslie Street and the Urquart Estate and Oxley Road precincts, is an area of heritage significance for the following reasons:
The place illustrates most of the significant development phases affecting Hawthorn including the early years of settlement (1835-1855), the growth of Hawthorn as a Victorian garden suburb, the Federation-era prosperity of 1901-1919; and interwar concepts of the garden suburb.
- The place contains a number of individually significant buildings exemplifying High Victorian and Italianate design, the Federation style in its formative phase, and a series of characteristic interwar designs.
- Individually significant buildings in the Oxley Road precinct include institutional buildings such as St Columbs Church, Auburn Uniting Church and its accompanying buildings, and notable houses including Terrick Terricks and Auburn House.
- The place has a particularly well-preserved and notable collection of the prevailing house styles of the 1880s through to the 1930s, with homogeneous concentrations of style in several streets. The interwar Old English and Mediterranean is particularly well represented in Urquhart Street and Swinburne Avenue and homogeneous arrays of 1920s Bungalows are found in The Boulevard and Lyall Street. Oxley Road, Elmie and Goodall Streets have a good variety of Victorian and Federation houses. Leslie Street is a homogeneous run of 1880s workers' cottages, and Minona Street has a relatively intact group of small late interwar housing units.
-Through the road layout, the footpaths transecting parts of the precinct, the broad street lawns in the Urquhart Estate component, mature street trees and other landscape features, and concrete road paving (Swinburne Avenue), the place clearly demonstrates the application of the 'garden suburb' ideal as variously interpreted in the later nineteenth century, Federation and inter-war periods. In Hawthorn the precinct compares interestingly with its primarily Victorian and Federation predecessor, the Grace Park Estate (HO 152). The Urquhart Estate component (Urquhart Street, Swinburne Avenue, and The Boulevard) was the last substantial land holding in Hawthorn to be subdivided for residential purposes (in 1919).
