Why is it significant?

25 Rose Street represents a relatively uncommon building type in Ivanhoe. Although there are a number of examples of the Federation or Queen Anne Style, this form of two storey house is less common in Banyule. It also represents a change from single family homes to flats, indicating one aspect of housing development that sought to create more density in the largely low density suburb of Ivanhoe. Keddington Flats, formerly known as Keddington, is a representative example of the two-storey Queen Anne style. This style of building is not well represented in Banyule. Keddington provides a good example of adaptation of a large residence to flats with little impact on the exterior of the building. (Criteria B & D)
