[1/1] Hillside House and Garden

Statement of Significance

This 1931 weatherboard house still with its garden "sleepout" has high local significance as a typical and intact example of the houses built throughout the Dandenongs during the inter-war years. It is notable for its garden designed by a botanist and her husband, which retains many original features including a glasshouse with the remains of a coke-fired iron boiler used for processing water for plant propagation, and a considerable part of the original garden plantings.
