It was erected in 1928 by William Hawthorn who owned property between Watties Lane and Monckton Road
20 Monckton Road's house stands and still traversed by the drive to Monckton. It is of historical significance locally with other elements of surviving physical evidence as a representative embodiment of the orcharding way of life in Templestowe in the early twentieth century. The former drive to Monckton is also significant for its association with that early homestead built in 1859 by district first settler, Major Charles Newman. It is of architectural significance as a surviving 1920s packing shed, now rare in Templestowe.
