Statement of Significance

Providence House, and the former Sunday School (rear) are of significance to the Cardinia Shire as a remaining example of the many guest houses that were once major features of Cockatoo and other resort areas in the Shire. The house dates from 1922 and was built by the Presbyterian Church as a holiday home for mothers and children. The associated garden ( plans of which survive) also has significance and is believed to date from the 1920s.
