Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house and barn built in face red brick c.1870 are significant. Later additions to the house including the side wing in paler brick, and the verandah to the house are not significant. The mature oaks, cypresses and willows are also significant. The house and barn at 306 Nankervis Road are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo. 306 Nankervis Road is of historical significance for its example of an allotment built for farming at a very small scale. This is unusual in the study area where most properties of this type had larger acreages and considerable agricultural uses. Criterion B The house and barn at 306 Nankervis Road are of aesthetic and architectural significance as a consistent group of buildings displaying similarities with other buildings where there is a known German origin. The buildings demonstrate in their design, elements of distinctive architectural styling such as the chimney placement and design, end parapet walls and two storey barns, common to buildings known to have been constructed by German immigrants to the area.
