Statement of Significance
"Lilybank" at nos. 12-12A Ormond Road, Ascot Vale, was built in 1899 for John Amess. It is a representative villa of its period, now altered after the Great War and of historic interest (Criterion A) for its capacity to demonstrate the nature of the suburban development on the eastern fringe of Ascot Vale at the time. The aesthetic importance of "Lilybank" (Criterion E) is derived from its apparent early date in the immediate locale, established especially by its unpainted stuccoed surfaces, by its prominence on the Ormond Road entry to Moonee Valley and by its setting on high ground overlooking the red brick retaining wall that has become a local landmark.
