Statement of Significance

The Claremont Avenue area is of regional significance as a fine, representative and substantially intact example of an area subdivided in the 1880s and developed largely in the Federation and late Federation period under the impetus provided by improved public transport to Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It has historic associations with key figures in the land boom of the 1880s and crash of the 1890s, and retains a range of valued buildings stock. The integrity and internal consistency of the streetscapes to the Malvern Station Estate and the smaller but contemporary streets of Evandale Road and Gordon Grove are of particular note.
