Statement of Significance

Sheringham at 206-8 Cotham Road, Kew is of local historical and architectural significance as a representative and generally intact example of a Melbourne apartment design of the 1920s. In its proportions and general bearing it has been designed to resemble a large detached (and therefore 'respectable') house, while using adapted components from contemporary bungalow design. Despite some additions and the redevelopment of the rear of the block, the principal elevations of the original flat block are intact and the block retains its original fencing.
