Statement of Significance
Buda was built in various stages. It is believed that the first section was constructed in 1857 for Col. J Smith, with additions in 1880 and 1890. Symmetrically planned, the single storied house has two projecting bay windowed wings about the central section, which contains the elaborate porch with broken pediment. The elaborate stucco mouldings and clerestory are other features.
Buda is a particularly distinctive house architecturally; has historical associations with silver-smith, Ernest Leviny, and forms part of the important historic townscape of Castlemaine. Visually the house is now very much of the Boom Style period and is distinguished by its stucco work, particularly to the central section. However, the earlier sections are apparent behind the clerestory. Buda was acquired by the Shire in the early 1970's and is now part of the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum.
