[1/1] Review of C* Grade Buildings

Statement of Significance

The house at 193 Auburn Road, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and relatively externally intact Victorian villa which displays all the hallmarks of the mode, including richly patterned polychrome brickwork, bracketed hipped slate roof, and heavy cast iron verandah. While not necessarily an uncommon type in Boroondara, 193 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 189 and 191A & B Auburn Road, the three sharing a high level of integrity and fine detailing.
