Statement of Significance

The Gables, built in 1891 for Annie and Edward Aland, is architecturally significant at a regional level. The Gables is important as a near externally intact and successfully designed example of a small group in the State which influenced the turn away from classically inspired villa style to those emanating from Medieval sources, culminating in the Melbourne Queen Anne revival style in the Edwardian period. It is also the only late nineteenth century private house in Heidelberg to express a strong Medieval influence, and its outbuildings reflect the trade of a prolific local builder, Albert Meyer.
