Statement of Significance

Kincraik, later Salisbury House is significant to the Cardinia Shire as one of the grandest resort buildings among the many rural retreats built in the Upper Beaconsfield area and it still possesses some of its landscape setting. Kincraik is significant as one of the few identified nineteenth-century guest houses remaining in the shire and it contributes to the commercial and civic precinct of Upper Beaconsfield. Documentary evidence such as the many post cards which portray the building also aid in the appreciation of the site historically. Kincraik is a local landmark and has associations with a number of locally important people, including Mrs. Georgina Craik and the Misses Hendrick in the 1890s.
