Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The dwelling originally known as 'Rostrevor' and later 'Hylands', originally constructed in 1897 in Peart Street and later moved to 27 Turner Street, Leongatha.

Why is it significant?
The dwelling originally known as 'Rostrevor' and later 'Hylands' is of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire.

Historically, it is believed to be one of the oldest extant dwellings in Leongatha and, although no longer on its original site, it is nonetheless important in demonstrating the early development of the town. It is also important for its associations with Hugh McCartin and Sir Herbert Hyland. (AHC criteria - A.4 and D.2)

Aesthetically, it is a locally notable and superior example of a symmetrical double fronted Victorian villa, which is distinguished by its architectural detail. (AHC criterion - E.1)
