[1/1] Review of C* Grade Buildings

Statement of Significance

The house at 191A and 191B Auburn Road, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and relatively externally intact Victorian villa which displays all the hallmarks ofthe mode, including richly patterned polychrome brickwork, bracketed hipped slate roof, and heavycast iron verandah. While not necessarily an uncommon type in Boroondara, 191A and 191B Auburn Road, Hawthorn is an elegant and assured composition featuring a rigorous application of polychrome patterned brickwork and fine decorative features. It is enhanced by its grouping with the matching villas at 191 and 193 Auburn Road, the three sharing a high level of integrity and fine detailing.Though the building has been subdivided to form two dwellings, this has had limited physical impact on either the building or its setting.
