Statement of Significance

The Knoll, at 50 Wandsworth Road, Surrey Hills, is of local historical and architectural significance as a relatively intact example of later nineteenth century suburban Italianate style in a substantial Camberwell house. Though it has lost its original frontage and is now sited on a truncated allotment, the diagonal address of the house to its garden is still evident. The Knoll is a good example of later Italianate design on the eve of the Federation period, and shows some proto-Federation characteristics in the elaboration of its corner bay into a conical roof.
