HO220 West Hawthorn Precinct, Hawthorn

The West Hawthorn Precinct, Hawthorn, is an area of heritage significance for the

following reasons:

- The place is a large and varied concentration of brick and timber Victorian worker's

cottages and modest residences. Connell and Mason Streets have a good proportion

of brick residences, while College, Fashoda, Spencer Streets have a higher

concentration of timber workers' cottages.

- The place is representative of the growth of Hawthorn as a Victorian garden suburb

from 1856-1900, particularly the use of the garden suburb ideal through the

incorporation of parkland in order to improve the amenity of workers housing.

- The precinct also includes a mix of late Federation and interwar houses and flats.
