Statement of Significance
No 15 Hastings Road, Hawthorn East, is of local historical and architectural significance. It is a fine example of a design which reflects the transition between the Federation and bungalow modes, and displays the major formal changes in its roof form, reduction of chimneys, simplification of plan perimeter and accentuation of line. The house, which is substantially intact externally, is also distinguished by its range and combination of materials and details, including the carefully moulded canted bay/tower, the individual window framing and leadlighting, the rafter expression and the complexity of surface material changes. Its facade presents as lively and varied in composition.

15 Hastings Road - Physical Description 1
No 15 Hastings Road, Hawthorn East, is a single-storey house in red face brick, with a simply designed, single ridge transverse roof, gabled at its north and south ends. The roof is clad in Marseilles tiles, and a small dormer punctuates the west plane of the roof, above the entrance porch. There are two slender chimneys with a plain face brick stack, rendered neck and tall terracotta pot. The eaves run up in line with the roof pitch and are marked at the edges with projecting rafters. The dormer has a small flat roof, possibly metal clad, with miniature projecting rafters, a leadlit, three-light casement sash window and a two-course shingled apron. A five-sided canted bay/tower with timber-framed, double hung leadlit sashes is located to the south of the entrance porch, and is topped by an ogee-moulded metal clad roof with ribs at its facets, each joining at a ball-topped finial. The tower roof has a shallow boxed eave supported on a set of radial exposed rafters; below the eave is a frieze in roughcast stucco incised with slim vent slots. An art-nouveau floral pattern is in the upper pane of each sash; the sashes have jigsaw-cut sun shades/valences in the upper portions. The entrance porch is framed by a slatted timber frieze and balustrade. To the north of the porch is a boxed window with a group of timber-framed, double-hung sashes with brackets above to support the overhanging eave. The front door is enclosed by a large brick arch that encompasses two elongated quadrant sidelights. The front steps are shallow and bluestone-capped; the porch floor appears to be tiled. A tall lapped timber paling fence marks the front property boundary, with a vehicle crossover and driveway on the north side.
