Statement of Significance

Hermon, at 2 John Street, Kew, is of local historical and architectural significance as an interesting example of a small late nineteenth century villa house in Kew. Designed in the Italianate style, it is an assured, albeit relatively late, example of the style, which incorporates a distinctive entry porch. The 1975 wing, constructed in a style intended to mimic or replicate the original house, detracts from the presentation of the building, as does the partial infill of the verandah.
