43 Clive Road, Hawthorn East is a good representative example of an Edwardian house that is highly intact in form and detail. It represents the development of mid-sized Edwardian houses from the late 1890s through to the early 1920s in an architectural style that was interpreted as more responsive to Australian conditions than Victorian architecture, and where elaborate compositions of larger Edwardian houses were constantly reinterpreted for smaller lots. (Criterion D)
