Statement of Significance

Aranmore has regional significance as one of the most notable and early district farm houses, the home of pioneer farmer Francis Barr and his family from c1862. Originally a four-roomed brick cottage, Aranmore has significance as one of four brick farm houses designed and built at Narre Warren North by George Washington Robinson. Of these, Hillsley (Robinson's own house), Cleveland and Glencairn built for the Troup family survive. The 1920s reshaping of the building changed its 1870s character but created a fine example of the Federation bungalow style. Aranmore is also associated with another prominent district farming family, the Kurlls, who lived there for over 40 years.
