Statement of Significance

The Vineyard Estate, or Mt. View Estate, subdivided in 1886 by Auguste Deschamps, prominent Lilydale vinegrower, and sold shortly afterwards to a syndicate, has high local significance as a prestigious residential estate adjacent to Lilydale township, where some of the district's most prominent residents made their homes. The subdivision has historical significance for its associations with Auguste Deschamps; with Henry C. White, Surveyor, who built the first house in the subdivision, known now as Mt. View at 17 Deschamps Avenue; and with Ebenezer Kidgell, estate agent, and other important Lilydale residents. The Estate has architectural significance for its range of housing from the 1890s, turn of the century, 1920s and later.
