Statement of Significance
Aringa was built as a timber cottage about 1911 by the Russell family and occupied by Dr William Leslie Colquhoun, former Mayor of Ringwood. There have been substantial additions at various times, most recently in 1986 designed by John Bastow, architect. It is set in a large mature garden said to have been designed by Edna Walling (1896-1973), the important garden designer, who lived relatively near at Mooroolbark. It is significant to Maroondah historically, for its association with the Russells and Colquhoun, but also as a pioneering house in Heathmont. It is architecturally and aesthetically significant for the beauty of its garden, its various elements including the pinoak, stone pines, pergola and fishpond.

Aringa - Physical Description 1
A timber weatherboard Edwardian former farmhouse, much altered. It has a corrugated hipped roof with plain red brick chimneys. At the north, are paired Tuscan porticos under hips. Their balustrade has also a metal St Andrew's cross balustrade. The bull-nosed ship-lapped weatherboards are unusual. The western bay of the south front has an Edwardian canted bay window under the roof. It was already 43 square metres prior to the additions. It is set in a mature garden of over half a hectare, with a very large Pinoak, Quercus palustris, pines, fishpond, pergola and a timber fence.
