Statement of Significance

West Bend is of local historical significance. The original building constructed on this property in 1853 was possibly the first house built in the Northcote Township. The surviving section appears to have been an addition of c1880, now considerably altered. The off-street aspect ofthe building reflects the original orientation of the house toward the Merri Creek. The house is associated with the Grindrod family who were residents of Northcote from its inception and over a long period of time.
