Statement of Significance

Designed in 1929 by architects Sydney Smith, Ogg and Serpell, Baymor Court is architecturally significant at a regional level, as a rare surviving example in Melbourne of a block of Spanish Mission style flats planned around a U shaped garden courtyard. Access to the block is gained either from the courtyard via an entry at the rear between double sets of garages or from an elaborately decorated doorway opening directly onto the street. Another unusual feature is the street facing wall treatment, an intact exposed sea-sand render hand trowelled and contrasted with wrought iron brackets and balustrading.
