Statement of Significance

Significance of Individual Property

'Dalswraith' is of significance as one of the most scholarly and bold expressions of the Old english style of House in the Edwardian period in Melbourne, and apart from 'Woodlands' is without parallel in Victoria. The outstanding state of intactness of the house and of the grounds that remain, is integral to the significance.

HO158 Walmer Street Precinct, Kew

The Walmer Street Precinct, Kew, is an area of heritage significance for the following

reasons:

-The place contains a series of individually significant mansion houses which all

represent different but accomplished facets of nineteenth and early twentieth century

architectural design.

-Studley Park Road, Walmer and Nolan Streets are all dominated by these mansions,

though Walmer Street in particular has a line of Victorian and Federation houses that

were developed alongside the mansions and which play an important supporting role

in the precinct.

- Generally, the streets within the area adjoin either parkland or large school garden

spaces, providing a distinctive parkland character to the area.
