Statement of Significance

Rathgar, at 149 Victoria Street, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a fine and relatively externally intact example of a substantial two-storey Italianate villa of the late 1880s. Constructed at the height of the boom, the house is an imposing, albeit relatively conventional, example of a popular Boroondara typology. Later additions are generally to the rear of the house and do not detract from its presentation.
