Statement of Significance

Castleton at 54 Stanhope Street, Malvern, is locally significant architecturally and historically:

- for the distinctive parapeted detached `row house' form, being uncommon within the City's 19th century residential development (Criterion B2)[1];

- synonymous with its stylistic group, `Boom Style', the house was the product of a speculative builder during the famous Land Boom period of Melbourne's history.

Reference

[1] Graeme Butler & Associates maintain that the contribution to a rare row house group is a major element in the significance of this place while also recognising that the group should also be recognised in the planning scheme..
