Statement of Significance

Historically, associations with the Allison family and a classic representative of the Moderne housing of 1950s Camberwell, adapting maritime features to modern forms. These styles are familiar in North Balwyn and Balwyn and suggest something of the confident and "progressive" outlook of new wealthy residents. Their values, expressed in buildings such as this, set these suburbs apart from the remainder of Melbourne's post-war expansion. C. S. Cameron's mark is evident in the city from the notable Moderne style examples of his work: of regional interest.

Architecturally, a superior residential example in the Moderne manner which utilizes all of its stylistic trappings, including curves, layered massing, flat roofs, nautical imagery, patterned brickwork and steel-framed window joinery. It is also related to the nearby Riverside and Camberwell City Heights estates: of State importance.
