[1/1] Review of C* Grade Buildings

Statement of Significance

No 6 Summerlea Grove, Hawthorn, is of local historical and architectural significance as a handsome and relatively intact example of a large interwar residence of the 1920s, with a prominent hipped roof and an asymmetrical front dominated by a central balcony and porch and also featuring a circular side bay. It features materials and detailing typical of the period, including face brickwork, roughcast stucco, Marseilles pattern terracotta tiles, and shingling. The property retains its original front fence. It is of interest for its link to a related form seen in the 1920s, the flat block designed to appear as a single residence, possibly contemplating a later conversion to flats. While some alterations have occurred, these are of a relatively minor nature and do not compromise the street presentation of the building.
