"Hazelgrove" A Large Late Victorian Villa - Essendon

            Hiding behind a lamenting cascade of autumnal leaves, "Hazelgrove" is a sprawling Victorian villa is situated in the inner northern Melbourne suburb of Essendon. 

Built in the 1890s, this Victorian Italianate style villa is constructed of stuccoed brick and features mock ashlar walls with stencil work.  "Hazelgrove" features a splendid return verandah of corrugated iron featuring wrought-iron lacework decoration.  All of these features are typical of the Victorian period.  Its original slate roof is also typically Victorian.  

Essendon was etablished in the 1860s and became an area of affluence and therefore only had middle-class, upper middle-class and some very wealthy citizens.  A large villa like this built in one of the finer pockets of the suburb suggests that it was built for an aspiring upper middle-class family. "Hazelgrove" would have required a number of servants to keep it maintained for its mistress and a gardener to keep the gardens in check.
