Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house at 1044 McIvor Highway, Junortoun, including all the fabric of the c.1870 and c.1890 house and the mature garden containing palms is significant. The detached timber outbuildings including the shearing shed are also significant. The large extension to the side of the house is not significant. The house at 1044 McIvor Highway, Junortoun is of local historic and architectural significance for the City of Greater Bendigo. The original house at 1044 McIvor Highway, Junortoun, may have been built by James Stephen Hogan, who held the land from 1869, though this has not been confirmed. It is also historically significant for its association with Simon Lazarus, who owned the property from 1890-1921, and with members of the Bill family. Simon Lazarus' father, Barnet Lazarus, established the Lazarus mine during the gold rushes in the district. Members of the Bill family owned the property for more than twenty years - from 1922 to 1944. Criterion A
