Statement of Significance

The house known formerly as "Kardinia" at no. 52 Park Street Moonee Ponds, was built in 1911-12 for John Charles Hill. It is aesthetically important. This importance (Criterion E) is derived from the manner in which it creatively interprets aspects of the Arts and Crafts movement during the post Federation period and foreshadows the popular bungalow form of the following decade. The massing of the roof and its verandah with surmounting gable ended treatment are especially innovative for their time.
