Statement of Significance
Darriwill, formerly known as Sutherland's Creek, was acquired by brothers Robert, James and George Hope in 1845 and developed as a grazing property with extensive orchards and vineyards. The present axially planned single storey bluestone homestead was built for George Hope in the mid 1850s. This Victorian eclectic design was most probably designed by J L Shaw, a Geelong architect who designed the cellar and wine making house in 1863.
Darriwill was largely developed by Dr Robert Hope, an eminent Scottish surgeon, Western District pastoralist, politician and flour milling entrepreneur. He was one of the first viticulurist in the Western District and Darriwill was a celebrated vineyard. The stone homestead, enhanced with pronounced stone quoins, architraves and later iron verandah is characteristic of the work of architect J L Shaw and a notable example of mid-Victorian homestead architecture.
Darriwill homestead is maintained in good condition. The interior has not been inspected.
