[1/1] Review of C* Grade Buildings

Statement of Significance

Glenagh, 11 Kooyongkoot Road, Hawthorn, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level. It is a well executed and generally intact (to its principal original building component), albeit overpainted, example of an asymmetrical house type with return verandah. This style of dwelling was popular in the Boroondara area at the turn of the nineteenth century, and a number of local builders were expert in the genre. The dwelling is distinguished by its return verandah and projecting elements, including the medieval motifs of steeply pitched multiple gables to the canted bays. The additions and alterations do not impact on a general appreciation of the original building form.
