Why is it significant?

Clangillian, 1334 High Street, Malvern, is a fine and highly intact example of a Federation house. The house strongly reflects the Federation Queen Anne architectural style popular in the first decade of the twentieth century in Malvern and across Melbourne more broadly. The asymmetrical composition, with complex roof forms, multiple gabled bays and integrated polygonal bay, along with architectural elements and materials, such as tall chimneys, and decorative coloured glass, are typical of the style. The use of quality materials and elaborate detailing imparts a sense of grandeur and demonstrates the status of the owner in wealthy established areas such as Malvern in the early twentieth century (Criterion D).

Clangillian, 1334 High Street, Malvern, is a carefully designed and well-resolved example of a Federation house. The complex roof forms, projecting bays, rich timber decoration, use of coloured and leadlight glass and decorative encaustic tiling present a picturesque composition of this architectural style (Criterion E).
