Statement of Significance

"Idamere" is situated at no. 705 North Road, Carnegie and was built for the fruiterer, John Edwin Jacobs, in 1940-44. It is aesthetically significant.

It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as an eloquent though somewhat belated example of the Streamlined Moderne mode in the Municipality, possibly sympathetically extended and important also for its exploitation of Art Deco themes.

This importance is enhanced by its prominent corner location on North Road, no. 705 comparing in the Municipality with ''Linlithgow'' (1938) at No.4 Linlithgow Avenue, Caulfield North and nos. 195 and 197 Hawthorn Road, also in Caulfield North.
