Whitby House, 8 Baillieu Street, Point Lonsdale

Whitby House is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe as an example of a substantially intact, early twentieth century Italianate-style dwelling in Point Lonsdale, and as a comparatively rare survivor of Point Lonsdale's early and rather gradual development following the land sales of the late-1870s and early-1880s. Architecturally, its conservative style typifies the continuation of suburban Italianate housing of the late-1890s and early-1900s in Queenscliff into the early twentieth century. While it has more numerous counterparts in Queenscliff, there are however few examples with this detailing and comparative richness in Point Lonsdale.
