Statement of Significance

Bindley House, a brick and bluestone residence with a slated hipped roof, was built about 1862 for Dr Frank Bindley, a prominent member of Kilmore's early community. The timber verandah on three sides has elegant and unusual patterned timber columns and valances. There is a large bluestone lower ground floor to the rear which is as big as the main house and has direct access to the rear garden. The front verandah has a substantial bluestone retaining wall below with additional later concrete buttresses. All brick walls have been painted and there is a sympathetic, but not original, picket fence to the front garden. Notable features include elaborate chimney stacks, early wallpaper in the south-west room and a detached brick stable building complete with internal fittings which is included.
