Statement of Significance

Killary, built in 1910 for the Gleesons, is significant to Cardinia Shire as a large and notable weatherboard Queen Anne style villa, with contemporary farm buildings. The house and hay shed are thought to be architect-designed and both are externally near original except for alterations at the back.

Killary has historical significance for its long association with the Gleeson family who still own the property, and its location on the reclaimed swamp lands, the size and design of the house being indicative of the diversity of holdings in the former swamp areas.
