Statement of Significance

903 Park Street, Brunswick, is of local historical and architectural significance. Its historical significance derives from its associations with the early medical history of Victoria and with the Mount Royal Home for the Aged from 1909 to 1984, and from its association with notable individual superintendents.

The house is a relatively intact example of the large residences built along Park Street in Brunswick during the 1880s to accommodate upper middle class families; 903 Park Street is particular notable for its two gabled bays, which acknowledge its corner site.
