Statement of Significance

Avenel, 27 Anderson Road, Hawthorn East, is of historical and architectural significance at a local level. It is a fine example of a 1880s Victorian villa, with a substantially intact original principal building component. The prominent tower, and elevated position within the streetscape, recall the period in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the property had extensive views to the west and south. The c. 1987 addition, while of some scale, is secondary and sympathetic to the original building.
