| Significance of Individual Property 1. "Carn Brea" was developed by the Beswicke family as a city mansion in a garden setting in the mid-1870s and extended in the late 1920s from the designs of architect, Harry Norris, for the Nicholas family. It has historical significance as a grand Victorian villa residence sympathetically redesigned and extended in 1920-28, and is largely intact from this period. It contributes to Harcourt Street, a precinct of intact late 19th and early 20th century mansions and villas without parallel in Melbourne. It has important associations with the Beswicke family, and most particularly with John Beswicke, who became Hawthorn's leading 19th century architect, being the first of the row of grand houses in garden settings designed by Beswicke on elevated sites on the north side of Harcourt Street. 2. From the 1920s, the property had, significant links with the Nicholas family, prominent in Melbourne's commercial world and noted philanthropists. "Carn Brea" forms a complement to the hill station properties of Alfred Nicholas ("Burnham Beeches") and his brother, George Nicholas ("Alton", Mt. Macedon). It is important, also, for its links with the significant client/architect relationship which developed between Alfred Nicholas and Harry Norris, and the collection of architecturally and historically important domestic, institutional and commercial commissions that followed as a result of the patronage. 3. The garden setting of "Carn Brea" is of special significance and includes a collection of trees characteristic of late 19th century Victorian gardens. The retention of garden elements and buildings is of importance and includes a timber pergola and fernery (described by Peter Watts as one of the largest in the state), conservatory, fountain, sundial, tennis court, front fence and gardens. This significance is enhanced by the fact that architect, Harry Norris, was responsible for the redesign of both house and garden and that his plans (especially those dating from 1920 and 1928) have survived and provide documentation for the extant house and garden. 4. Architecturally significant for the substantially intact 1920s interior. Important spaces include; the ballroom and billiard room with their panelled hall approach, to a lesser extent the two principal living rooms adjoining the hall, the kitchen, the south facing first floor rooms, two bathrooms and the conservatory. HO151 Harcourt Street Precinct, Hawthorn The Harcourt Street Precinct, Hawthorn, is an area of heritage significance for the following reasons: -Harcourt Street features a concentration of nineteenth century mansions of a high level of design, a number of which retain expansive grounds. -The mansion houses are interspersed with series of distinctive and substantial Federation designs, and interwar houses |
