Huntingtower

Note further research is recommended to enable comparative assessment for the architect.

1. A most unusual composition of central tower, gable and return verandah executed in the materials favoured by the aficionados of the "Modern Italian", but here interpreted in the French second empire style. A rare example of this material/style combination.

2. One of the best illustrations of the boom period, mansion house development at Hawthorn, when mansion houses were required to achieve maximum impact by their careful placement and design, even on small allotments, and continuing Hawthorn's established 1860 and 1870s mansion house character into a suburban setting.

4. A landmark in Church Street.
