HOUSE

9 Kilmore Road including the brick house and timber extension built c.1880 is significant 

9 Kilmore Road is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.

Kilmore Road is of historical significance for its associations with Charles Henry Pearson educator, historian and active land reformer, who later became headmaster of Presbyterian Ladies College. Pearson's activities extended to being an active campaigner for women's suffrage, later becoming Minister of Education in 1890 representing the seat of Castlemaine. Criterion A

The house, although modest for a man of Pearson's influence, displays some refinement in the brickwork chimneys and verandah. It is unusual in that appears to retain the original verandah design. The timber extension is highly compatible in terms of form and chimneys and is an integral part of the design . Criterion E
