Statement of Significance

1088 Malvern Rd is of regional significance for its garden setting and the intactness and simple strenght of design, unusual for this early date. The lack of ostentation makes a dramatic comparison with other developments in the area. This house can be compared with the Wertheim residence, Whernside Avenue, also by the same renowned firm of architects. Large expanses of red brickwork and terracotta tiles provide an architectural character which avoids the elaborate excesses of some of the other revival styles of that period. It is also of historic significance for its association with HSW Lawson, a prominent state and federal politician.
