Statement of Significance

A small but highly imposing house, built in 1872 to the design of the local engineer and architect G W Knight. Hybla is one of the very few houses in Victoria faced in wrought sandstone, and even more exceptional for its pretentious but delightful treatment as a rusticated Florentine palazzo. The interior, intact but redecorated, is appropriately grand, with high ceilings and with an elliptical arch and folding doors between the principal rooms.
