Statement of Significance
Kaweka was constructed in 1896 as a residence for john s Thompson an iron founder of Thompsons Foundry, the builder being HD McBean. Thompson lived at the house till his death in 1910 after which it was acquired by FS Newell a solicitor.
The house is constructed of face brick and has a corrugated iron roof. The house is broad across its main facade with a central projection and a verandah across the front and returning around the projection. The main feature of the house is the timber verandah which is of classical inspiration. It has slender Tuscan columns, paired under the central and side broken pediments, and the eaves are decorated with broken pediments, and the eaves are decorated with representations of the Greek antefixae and paved consoles under the pediments. The verandah is supported on a stone plinth with central steps.
It is a grand country house of the 1890s that has unusual verandah detailing and important connections with one of Castlemaine’s most important families.
