Statement of Significance
Claremont was erected in 1857-58 for William Blair, the architect for this substantial single storey stucco on bluestone villa being Andrew McWilliams.
This axially planned Italianate style villa is enhanced with a dominant and central Tuscan doric portico, bracketted eaves, prominent quoins and delicately detailed, encircling timber verandah.
Claremont is the most refined architectural design of Andrew McWilliams, an Irish engineer/architect who was mostly engaged as a municipal surveyor during his long career in the Geelong region. The villa is a most distinguished Italianate style design and one of the most notable of the houses constructed in the 1850s in Geelong. The building has important historical associations, firstly with C J Dennys, the prominent Geelong woolbroker who acquired the house in 1876, and then with the Gray family who have occupied the house since 1901.
Claremont is maintained in excellent condition and is intact. The interior has not been inspected. The original timber fence and gates to the building frontage were demolished in the 1920s.
