Statement of Significance

Statement of significance as recorded under the Queenscliffe Heritage Study 2009

The residence at 2 The Esplanade is of historical importance for its association with the prominent Victorian politician, Sir Henry Wrixon. Aesthetically it is a fine example in Queenscliff of a substantial Italianate mansion and is unusual in its timber construction. With Maytone, the adjacent seaside residence, which was built for the prominent Victorian politician Travers Adamson, they form a pair of imposing substantial Victorian houses facing the foreshore reserve and Lonsdale Bay.
