Statement of Significance

This symmetrically planned, colonial regency villa was built 1852-3 by John Matthews, an early architect/builder in Geelong responsible for other similar developments in Newtown. The villa has interesting associations with the Free Presbyterian Church in Geelong, the church having purchased it as a residence for the Reverend John Tait.
