Statement of Significance

Norwood, 14 Auburn Grove, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a generally intact and well executed example of a substantial Victorian house in the Italianate style, which was constructed in an area of Hawthorn where some considerable residential subdivision and development occurred in the 1880s. The front garden setback is of generous proportions and serves to highlight and give prominence to the building and its handsome facade within the streetscape context. The facade is also distinguished by the relatively unusual use of square-headed windows.
