Statement of Significance
This house has been demolished. The 1991 Study identified its significance at that time as:
Of local historical significance for its associations with the Sheahan family, and as one of the three early buildings within the surveyed Templestowe township. However, this significance is almost entirely removed by the extensive alterations to the house and site, rendering it unrecognisable.

HOUSE AT 17-21 Parker Street - Physical Description 1
This building was previously described in the 1991 Study as a 'symmetrical, double-fronted Italianate timber house with a corrugated iron hipped roof and a 1920s skillion verandah on two sides. The verandah posts are in pairs with fretwork brackets on roughcast brick piers. Older garden plantings include a Cypress windbreak on the east side.'
Upon inspection in 2005 it was found that the building had either been demolished or had been turned into a drive-thru bottle shop (an extension to the historic Templestowe Hotel) with alterations so extensive that only the hip roof was recognisable. The garden is also gone.
