Statement of Significance

This c1907 Kilsyth cottage has high local significance as one of the oldest remaining district orchard houses. The former Acorn Cottage was associated with two orcharding families, the Wylies and the Bridges. The latter are commemorated in the naming of the adjacent Elizabeth Bridge Reserve which was formed from part of the property's original 12.5 acres of orchard, and the Bridge Community House on this Reserve.
