Rathmines Grove Precinct, Hawthorn East

HO160 Rathmines Grove Precinct, Hawthorn East

Rathmines Grove Precinct, Hawthorn East, is an area of heritage significance for the following reasons:

- The place is a highly intact, single storey, Victorian timber precinct of generally single-fronted houses with timber block fronted front walls, and cast iron verandahs.

- The place is associated with the large mansions along Harcourt Street and illustrates the flow-on effect of early mansion house construction on the type of development in the surrounding area. The dwellings along Rathmines Grove were originally developed as small servicing quarters for these mansions.
