Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Riverslea, including the bluestone buildings of 1874 comprising the house, outbuilding (now joined to the main house), well and the stone wall are significant. The cement sheet outbuilding and the modern extension to the house are not significant. The house Riverslea is of local aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo. Riverslea of 1874 is a fine example of the stonemasons art. Although generally of similar form to a number of stone houses, Riverslea has a pediment and pilasters executed in ashlar stone around the front door. Bluestone details such as this are rare in the study area and the house is testament to the particular design and craftsmanship of the stonemason. The drystone wall adds to the setting of this house and is a good example of the stonemasons craft. The well is also of bluestone and few of these have been located in the study area. Criterion E
