Statement of Significance

An early Classical brick and stone doctor' s residence, built in 1865 for Dr Rae, an influential figure in the town.

It is of local historical significance as a representative embodiment of the way of life experienced by an influential figure in Bacchus Marsh 130 years ago and for its association with Dr Rae.

Architecturally it is locally significant as a representative example of the domestic Classical style in the early Victorian period, although there is no comparable example on this scale in Bacchus Marsh. It also demonstrates skilful stonemason's craftsmanship in the drafting of the ashlar blocks.
