Statement of Significance

Spreydon, 110 Riversdale Road, Hawthorn, is a fine and relatively externally intact example of a late Victorian villa, prominently sited on a large allotment. The house exhibits all of the hallmarks of the Italianate style including rendered masonry construction and moulded details, bracketed hipped slate roof, double-height canted bay and cast iron verandah. Though overpainted and missing some cast iron ornament, it remains a fine and representative example of its type. The house is also of historical interest for its association with its original owner, James Westley, prominent local resident and Mayor of Hawthorn (1889-90).
