Statement of Significance

Warrowitur, 1 Neave Street, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and relatively externally intact example of a substantial Victorian Italianate villa set on a generous garden allotment. Warrowitur is an unusual example of a late Victorian Italianate design; it incorporates parapeted single-storey wings flanking a prominent projecting bay, screened by an ornate return cast iron verandah. The richness of the composition is enhanced by the use of bichrome brickwork and rendered details. Though the site has been subdivided and a series of rear additions have been made, these changes do not detract from the presentation of the house.
