Statement of Significance
Historically, it was created by and for George Garvin, a prominent Bendigo architect who (with Beebe) worked on important projects such as Denderah, Lansellstowe and (with Eathorne) St. Andrews Church, Myers Street. As his home over a long term, it both represent well Garvin's status in the community as well as providing scope for interpreting his other designs and his life style.
The garden is of contributory significance only.

Building - Physical Description 1
Presumably to its owner's design, the house is unusual compared to contemporary Federation Bungalows and Queen Anne revival villas, possibly due to staged construction or perhaps an extensive renovation of an earlier building. It possesses similar elements and materials, including the red brickwork, Marseilles pattern unglazed terra-cotta roof tiles, decorative ridge- cresting, a verandah under the main roof pitch, and use of the Dutch-hipped roof form. However, its combination of one and two- storey wings (more typically an attic/dormer upper level) and bold massing is atypical. A gabled dormer is centred on the verandah span but, despite its shingling and roof cladding, it may be an addition. Other details include the corner buttressing, lower level window treatment and 'quoined' opening in the stucco-clad upper-level of the two-storey wing.
