Statement of Significance

Yarrowee is an example of an American Colonial style house, unusual in the municipality, and one of a few large residences constructed in the former Shire of Eltham prior to 1940. The house, designed by noted architects H W amd F B Tompkins, gains particular distinction from its garden, laid out by renowned landscape designer Edna Walling, featuring an early use of Australian native trees as a major component of the garden designer. It is of local aesthetic importance.
