Consulting Room - Office

The single storey brick residence at 278 Latrobe Terrace, Newtown, was erected at an unknown date as a typical Italianate style villa, symmetrically planned and with a rusticated rendered masonry facade and slate roof. The residence has been substantially defaced and has insufficient architectural integrity and no apparent historical associations to warrant listing on the Geelong Regional Commission Register of Historic Places.

Former Athel Stane is a brick Italianate house built in 1890. Although its value has been diminished by substantial alteration, it is architecturally significant locally as characteristic of this domestic style and historically significant as a representative embodiment of comfortable family life at the height of the economic boom in Newtown.
