Statement of Significance

Built as a guest house in 1904 for James D Allen, Whitehall is distinguished by its use of local rubble limestone (now painted) with red brick dressings. The guest house is also notable for its elegantly proportioned double-storey timber verandah reminiscent in its detailing of the work of Melbourne architects Ussher and Kemp. Whitehal is a leading guest house in one of Victoria's most popular and important tourist and resort centres.
