Statement of Significance
The sandstone and brick buildings built c.1884 at part CA 5 Sec 8 Bartys Road are significant. The peppercorn trees and mulberry tree are also significant.
How is it significant?
The buildings at part CA 5 Sec 8 Bartys Road, Myrtle Creek are of local aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.
Why is it significant?
The buildings at CA5 Sec 8 Bartys Road are of historic significance for their association with the Pilcher family who are thought to have been the orginal settlers in the area, and after whom Pilchers Bridge is named. The Pilchers long association with the prperty was retained until 1952. The stone and brick buildings are representative of a farm complex built of local materials including sandstone and brick. The two storey form of the stone building is a good example of a vernacular sandstone house, although it has been altered by raising the wall height. The brick building is a good example of an early house with large chimney, and demonstrates the use of the local orange red bricks. Although there are a few examples of this brick, it is unusual in the study area. Criterion D
