Statement of Significance

Tsoshaan has State significance as one of the earliest and most interesting examples of custom-built blocks of flats surviving in Melbourne. Built in stages between 1918 and 1922, to the design of a leading domestic architect, Arthur W. Purnell, Tsoshaan is an important example of his work and of early flat development in Toorak. Its significance is enhanced by a complementary garden setting which reflects the building's distinctive Eastern style of architecture. Garden features include a driveway through a Pagoda-roofed gate and garden beds with volcanic boulders lining the driveway and paths.
