Statement of Significance

167 Cotham Road, Kew, is of local historical and architectural significance. The house is of historical significance as the residence for several years in the late 1910s and into the 1920s of William Morris Hughes, Prime Minister of Australia (1915-1922). A good and generally externally intact example of a brick residence of the late Federation period, the house is of additional architectural interest and significance for its juxtaposition of a relatively conventional Federation design with a signature entry porch that draws together elements of both the Art Nouveau and the contemporary Baroque Revival.
