Statement of Significance

No 408 Barkers Road, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. The house is associated with a comparatively later subdivision in the area, but in line with the history of much local residential development it represented when constructed in c.1920, and remains, an exemplar of its architectural type, the bungalow. It displays strong Californian influences, particularly the later work of Greene and Greene in the Pasadena area, and is marked by a boldness in line, an emphasis on horizontality, and a fine balance between the long roof form and smaller masonry elements such as the verandah piers and chimneys. The dwelling also makes a bold architectural statement within the Barkers Road streetscape context.
