Statement of Significance

Victoria, 7 Beaconsfield Road, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is representative of much desirable residential development in Hawthorn in the late nineteenth century, as a large house in a generous garden setting, with a prominent streetscape position and presentation. Architecturally, it is a transitional design which displays elements of the mid-nineteenth century through to the emerging Federation style. It is also an important and valuable design for 1890-1 which shows boldness in the use of the Japanned fretwork to the verandah, the fusing of the verandah and main house roof forms, and the highlighted application of the Free Romanesque heads to the windows and door.
