Statement of Significance

Devonia, 254 Barkers Road, Hawthorn, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level. Although overpainted, the dwelling is nevertheless a generally intact example of an asymmetrical house type popular in the Kew and Camberwell areas at the turn of the nineteenth century, and designed and built by a number of prominent builders and architects who combined Italianate form and detail with more usual Federation elements. These popular designs incorporated return verandahs, quoin markings and canted bays topped with steeply pitched gables.
