[1/1] Camberwell Conservation Study

Statement of Significance

Architecturally, distinguishable as of a small group of designs from the internationally known Prairie School in Victoria, showing also a move towards the severe geometry of much Modernist architecture to come in contrast to the contemporary eclectic designs; of regional importance and state interest. Historically, little is known of the first owner in the Camberwell context, but it is one of the early examples in a city where flat building was discouraged.
