Statement of Significance

Built in 1912 for Andrew Stenhouse, Chanonry is a distinctively detailed Edwardian Baroque design by the notable architectural firm of Bates Peebles and Smart. Important upper-level details include the bowed balcony and wrought-iron balustrade, broken parapet form, the exaggerated keystones, lions heads, and deep consoles while the ground level is of freestone, harmonising with similarly clad buildings nearby. It contributes to one of Melbourne's most important commercial streetscapes.
