Statement of Significance

The Grange, Built in 1888 for the Hudson family, is significant to the Cardinia Shire for its historical links with the earliest settlers of the district (Mickles, Hudsons) and its evident early date among other farm houses in the Yallock or Koo-wee-rup district. Its siting, facing away from the street is evocative of its role as a predecessor of the town subdivision. It was the home of one of the more prominent Koo-wee-rup towns people and became a de facto social centre for the new community.
