Statement of Significance

No. 504 Hawthorn Road is locally significant as a rare surviving market gardener's house in Caulfield South, recalling the area's former role along with nearby Brighton in growing vegetables for the Melbourne markets. It is also noteworthy as an early Caulfield house, surviving in a substantially intact state and using bi-chromatic brickwork which was highly fashionable during the 1870's (refer "Glenmore", 1 St Georges Road, 1870 and ''RipponLea'', 1868).
