Statement of Significance

Tasma, 7 Muir Street, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a handsome and relatively intact example of a Victorian villa of the later 1870s, modified in the Federation period. It is of interest for its incorporation of what appears to be an original or early kitchen or general service wing. The house is an energetic and strongly formed design in bichrome brick which derives additional interest from its overlay of Federation period elements and detailing. It is prominently sited and has a commanding presence in the streetscape. Though it incorporates a number of unusual elements, other than for the overpainting of the bichrome brickwork, the house appears to be generally intact as viewed from the street.
