| Last updated on - February 10, 2010 What is significant? The house at 413 The Boulevard, built in c1960, known as "Leatarn", is of significance. How is it significant? Leatarn is of historic, architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Banyule. Why is it significant? Leatarn is of historic significance as a reminder of the development of Ivanhoe in the years following World War II, when a series of prominent Modernist architects constructed homes in the area. It is considered to be one of the best works of architects Hipwell Weight and Mason, and was featured in Neil Clerehan's Best Australian Houses in 1963 as an example of leading design of the time (Criteria A,D & H). Leatarn is of architectural significance as a largely intact example of a 1960s era Modernist residential structure (Criterion F). The house incorporates a number of features charcateristic of the period- the cantilevered deck supported on exposed beams, the narrow columns/windows across the front elevation, and the curved retaining walls are three of the most striking (Criterion F). The setting of the house above road level in a landscaped garden overlooking parkland and the Yarra River also contributes to its aesthetic value, while the elevated site gives Leatarn a dominant prescence on the Boulevard, which is exploited to the full by the cantilevered structure (Criterion E). |
