Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Kilmuir is a stone cottage located in Nareen Road about one kilometre south of Nareen. It seems to have been built in the 1860s as a result of the subdivision of land under the Land Selection Acts. The cottage is of interest for its simple vernacular style and its traditional forms and details. The bell cast hipped roof of the front wing is unusual. The extension at the rear under the second hip roof is likely to have been a detached kitchen. The cottage was extended to the north after the Second World War. It remains in good condition with a high degree of integrity. The house is set within an appropriate cottage garden.
How is it significant?
Kilmuir is of historical and architectural significance to the community of Nareen and to the Southern Grampians Shire.
Why is it significant?
Kilmuir is of historical significance because it reflects the major change in land ownership brought about by the land Selection Acts and it is of architectural interest because of its relatively late vernacular style, form and details. It is of further historical significance for its long association with the McDonald family, who have held the property for over 125 years.
