Statement of Significance

Eulinya house and garden, 48-50 Irving Road, Toorak, is of Local (potenital state) significance historically and architecturally:

- as a superb combination of house and garden design that epitomises the underlying theme of Arts & Crafts architecture where the design of the house is at one with its garden setting and thus is particularly evocative of the architectural firm, W&R Butler's reputation for significant Arts & Crafts architecture and garden design (Criterion E1)

- an externally well preserved representative of Toorak's special significance over time as the chosen residential domain of some of the nation's most influental figures and, in the case of this house, a new phase of Toorak's development in the immediate post First War period that saw the breaking up of the large estates and the emergence of a new type of urban mansion set in smaller but more articulated grounds (Criterion A4)
