Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The farm complex at 455 Sedgwick Road, Sedgwick comprising a stone house built c.1860 with half basement and several outbuildings containing some parts of drop log and vertical timber slab construction are significant. How is it significant? 455 Sedgwick Road is of local historical, aesthetic and technical significance to the City of Greater Bendigo. 455 Sedgwick Road is one of a number of properties in this region established by European immigrants to the area, of which Germans, French and Italians were well represented. It appears that the Cavagna family were responsible for much of the development of this place and it was in their ownership for over 70 years. It is one of a number of properties in the Sedgwick, Mandurang and Strathfieldsaye areas that are associated with intensive agriculture by European immigrants. Criterion A The outbuildings are of significance for their demonstration of drop log and vertical slab building technology. Although relatively rare, this type of building construction is found in a number of other places in the study area, with some being more intact than the examples on this property. Criterion D
