Why is it significant?
Architecturally, this is an unusual design which incorporates typical contemporary elements in a creative and distinctive manner. The house is externally near to its original form: of local importance and regional interest. 
 
Historically, it was created by and for George Garvin, a prominent Bendigo architect who (with Beebe) worked on important projects such as Denderah, Lansellstowe and (with Eathorne) St. Andrews Church, Myers Street. As his home over a long term, it both represent well Garvin's status in the community as well as providing scope for interpreting his other designs and his life style. 
 
The garden is of contributory significance only.
