[1/1] Ravenswood House

Statement of Significance

SIGNIFICANCE: Ravenswood is a distinctive example of the Italianate style and one of a small number of residences to be constructed in Ivanhoe during the 19th century boom period. Substantially intact, the house is one of the largest in the municipality and is distinguished by its symmetrical main elevation which features a two-storey rendered arcaded loggia. The house also gains distinction from its hillside siting.

The remnant trees on the site reflect the grandeur of the pre-subdivision garden, and are notable specimens within the municipality. They contribute significantly to the amenity of the surrounding landscape.
