Statement of Significance

This building, constructed in 1858, with flanking wings of 1864, is of architectural significance as the first major work known designed by the important firm of architects Vahland and Getzschmann. Vahland was undoubtedly the most significant and prolific architect in North Central Victoria. More particularly it is a version of the Italian Renaisssance through the eyes of a German architect, with a delightful cupola and Florentine arched windows. Although major additions deface and obscure parts of the principal facade the design is nonetheless clearly visible.
