How is it significant?

The house at 1/51 Mountain View Road is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Banyule.

Why is it significant?

The house at 1/51 Mountain View Road is of local historic significance for its association with the trend of residential subdivision and Estate development occurring within Montmorency as a result of the railway line extension to Eltham. It is of an early construction date for Montmorency and represents a form of semi-rural residential development that has largely been subsumed by post war housing. 1/51 Mountain View Road was the home of Dr Andrew Honman, whose later work in medicine was as a pioneer in the field of pathology in the 1920s at Bethesda Hospital. (Criterion A)

The house at 1/51 Mountain View Road is of local aesthetic significance as a representative example of a transitional Federation/ Bungalow in Banyule. The simplicity of design and restrained decoration contribute aesthetic value to the property. The Bungalow style of house is not well represented in Montmorency, as most development took place in the Post-war period. (Criterion D)
