[1/1] Firwood Park Former Hedgevale

Statement of Significance

Firwood Park, formerly Hedgevale, is significant to the Cardinia Shire because of its rarity as a polychrome brick Italianate styled farm house in an area dominated by timber construction and its links with early farming endeavours in the area, including the development of the dairying industry and orcharding. The house is also linked with the local pioneering Rix family. It is one of the older farm houses in the Shire and is well preserved among a related and mature collection of conifers which are individually of local importance.
