238, 240, 242 and 244 Barkers Road

The group of late 1880s terraces at Nos. 238-244 Barkers Road, Hawthorn, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level. The group is a striking quartet on a prominent street, and comparatively rare as a building type in this part of Hawthorn. The group shares a lively parapet treatment, with the lightness and floral detailing of the parapets well matched to the solid, robust wing wall bosses and bichrome patterning on the walls. The verandah lacework is also unusually generally consistent across all four.
