Statement of Significance

Rosedale, 25 Oak Street, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and externally relatively intact example of a substantial Victorian Italianate villa which displays all of the hallmarks of the popular Hawthorn type including paired canted bays, hipped slate roof, encircling cast iron verandah and rendered facade. Like the nearby 19 Oak Street, Rosedale is prominently sited at the crest of the streetscape, a characteristic siting for more substantial houses of the period. The strong aesthetic qualities of Rosedale derive from its well-articulated composition which is enhanced by a prominent cast iron verandah.
