Statement of Significance
D Listed - Contributory Significance
The following historical information has been added informally only by the Heritage Advisor, 16 February 2017:
The site at 380 Ryrie Street, East Geelong, was owned by Herbert Saywell, law clerk, in 1909. He engaged the Geelong architects Tombs and Durran to prepare a design for a new timber dwelling at this time. Tenders were called in October of that year. Construction soon commenced and in 1910 works were still in progress, the Geelong Town Council Rate Books describing the dwelling as WB frame of house, shed and land". The dwelling was completed August 1910 as the Geelong Advertiser reported on members of the Shenton Methodist choir giving 'a very pleasant surprise party to Mr. and Mrs. H. Saywell at their new home, "Belvoir,", Ryrie-street east.' In 1911, the Geelong Town Council Rate Book described the dwelling as a six roomed weatherboard house with bathroom, pantry, lobby and stable.
