Clydesville. 20 Gellibrand Street, Queenscliff

Clydesville is of local historical and architectural significance as a relatively early residence in Queenscliff and for its composite form reflecting its staged construction. Clydesville is broadly representative of standard house forms of the 1860s and 1870s in Queenscliff and is relatively intact externally. The property retains mature tree specimens.

The house is also of local historical significance based on its long association with pilot John Nicholson and for its use as a summer house by Charles Troedel, the most distinguished of Melbourne's nineteenth century lithographers and later the owner of the Sydney-based printers C Troedel & Company.[i]
