KELVIN MANSIONS, 325 Dandenong Road, Prahran - Physical Description 1
The three-storey brick and stucco building has a terracotta tile roof with elaborate terracotta ridge tiling and finials.
Bay windows and balconies flank the central curved. stuccoed balconies about which the front elevation is symmetrical. The upper two stories are identical while the ground floor has porthole windows in place of the balconies above. Although the symmetrical front is a common design for flats of this period, 'Kelvin Mansions' is unusual in that the entrances to the flats was from the side rather-than the more common front entrances. While the building presents a facade to Dandenong Road. it imparts a domestic character through the use of the multiple hipped and gabled roof and the elegantly detailed canopies to the curved bay windows and balconies.
