 The Master Builders' Weekly acknowledged its location between St Kilda Rd and Fawkner Park, noting that it ""has thus two frontages in one of the most valuable areas just outside the city"" and describing the architect Sir Bernard Evans as ""a pioneer in Melbourne of this class of building"".The flats also attracted notable persons such as the architect Leslie M Perrott Senior of Perrott Lyon Mathieson, described as the leading designer of Melbourne's grand hotels, who left the house he had designed as his own residence in fashionable Brighton to move to Sheridan Close, at the time a new block of flats, that he particularly admired.More recently, Sheridan Close has been recognised by the prominent architectural academic Philip Goad as ""a stylistic hybrid"" for its combination of Regency porch, concave brick façade and Georgian-proportioned windows, which he described as a ""clear flaunting of contemporary architectural tastes"".
