Statement of Significance

Euroma, 2 Beaconsfield Road, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. It was constructed in 1888-9 in broadly Italianate in style, which is reflected primarily in the materials and detailing, rather than in the unusual double-cube massing. The bichrome brickwork, asymmetrical plan, and prominent parapet-crown also represent elements which were popularly employed in Melbourne houses of the 1880s. The house's relatively close placement to the street, in its immediate context, is additionally of interest, and in combination with the unusual design, contributes to the character and diversity of the streetscape.
