Statement of Significance
"Maretirno", a 22 room single storey mansion was erected c.1854 for John Norman Mcleod. The house is constructed of basalt ashlar with fine axed parapet entablature and delicate open timber work verandah. Design of the bUilding is attributed to the local architect, John Barrow. Maretimo is rivalled only by the stylistically similar Henty residence 'Burswood' of 1853 by John Barrow as perhaps the finest residence erected within the first twenty years of settlement in Victoria, the fine facades and elegantly crafted interiors are distinctive features of the building.
