[1/1] Payne House

Statement of Significance

The Payne house, built in 1908 for the successful Melbourne draper on his extensive 466 acre property, is significant to Cardinia Shire as an example of a substantial country holiday home located in a popular resort town. It is significant, too, for its associations with the important Payne family and the role it played in the district as a social centre. The drive planting also contains trees of individual importance and together are also of note as a group, as is the original house design (although altered).
