    IVANHOE MANOR - Physical Description 1

    Building

    Ivanhoe Manor is a large two-storey rendered Italianate villa with an M-hipped slated roof with coupled bracketed eaves and a two storey return cast iron verandah, which terminates on the south-east bay. The house is relatively plain externally with moulded impost string courses and moulded architraves. Windows are segmented arched double-hung sashes.

    Landscape

    'Phoenix canariensis' specimens are dotted in the spacious grounds and give this house a more authentic setting despite the unsympathetic additions on the site.

    Historical Australian Themes

    IVANHOE MANOR - Historical Australian Themes

    In the 1880s, the prospect of rail transport, promised first to Alphington, and then to Heidelberg, provided the impetus for land speculators and developers in the area and saw the district's fortunes appear to take a turn for the better. These estates were marketed as high quality residential subdivisions. In suburbs such as Ivanhoe and Heidelberg, however, much of this land remained unsold, and relatively few houses were actually constructed following the land sales of the 1880s. Ivanhoe Manor is one of a small group of substantial late Victorian mansions erected for Melbourne 'gentlemen' at that time.
