Statement of Significance

The house (Broome) at 6 Glyndebourne Avenue, Toorak is of local (potential State) significance, architecturally:

- as one of the earliest Spanish style houses erected in the State to an architect's design after WWI and forerunner of many builder-designed Spanish style houses in the State built later in the decade;
- for its relatively high external integrity, particularly the render finish, providing a well preserved example of the style and type which is further enhanced by the contemporary views of the house as an aid to greater understanding of the style's evolution
- for its association with Martin, a well known designer of large to medium sized houses in the City
