Statement of Significance

Prospect House, 75 Lisson Grove, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a very substantial, double-fronted, double-storey Italianate villa of brick construction on an essentially symmetrical plan. It is one of a group of similar large houses built on generous sites in Hawthorn in the latter decades of the nineteenth century, although it differs from the more usual two-storeyed pattern in having its canted bay restricted to a single unit on one side under the verandah. It also retains, somewhat unusually, a still generous garden setting. The original component of the building is comparatively intact externally.
