[1/1] Mycumbene House

Statement of Significance

Architecturally, the house has the familiar Beebe trademarks (gable, American influence) which make the design distinctively of the Bendigo area. It also relates closely to the earlier Rae house and the two can be recognised as connected historically, particularly with the fine exotic garden shared by both houses. Historically, the houses' proximity to Rae's mine and the others in the group also its place in the greater building group which includes the Gold Mines Hotel and Coath cottage, is regionally and locally significant, given the importance of gold to the district.
