Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

The former farmhouse at 85 Bellarine Highway is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. Historically, the dwelling is significant as one of the oldest surviving properties in the Springs area, and evidence of the area's agricultural origins. Architecturally, while altered to the front facade, no. 85 Bellarine Highway is still demonstrably a late nineteenth century Italianate house with a symmetrical facade and presentation. It is also representative of similar properties and dwellings elsewhere in the area, albeit originally and rather unusually associated with a farm property.
