ELTHAM STUDY STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE (with AHC criteria) (2001)

English oaks and farm house, at the former Panton property are significant to Eltham:

- the oaks as typical plantings for early farms in the area which now are uncommon at this maturity ( Criterion D2, B2);

- the house recalls Edwardian-era cottage construction in the area, as weekenders and farmlet houses ( Criterion A4);

- one oak as a good specimen of significant age and good health ( Criterion D2, B2);

- for the property's historical association with the well known Joseph Panton whose name has been memorialised in the Panton Hill locality ( Criterion H1).
