Statement of Significance

Casa de Rio, 95 Alexandra Avenue, and Casa Panzo, 89 Alexandra Avenue, are of regional significance as two prominent, finely designed and detailed and substantially externally intact examples of small flat development constructed upon the opening up of frontages to the Alexandra Avenue extension in the early 1930s. They exemplify the influence of various Spanish Revival and Mediterranean modes in Melbourne, modes that had gained popularity in the architect designed domestic work of the 1920s but had been consolidated as a builders mode popular for flats and houses alike by the 1930s.
