Statement of Significance
Architecturally, of a common villa form but distinguished by the iron verandah, vent details, the original interiors and its mature garden settings: of regional importance.
Historically, the home of two regionally know persons (Fairbairn and Stewart), the former being more identified with both the house and the area's special metropolitan role as the domain of professional persons involved with the rural industries: of regional interest and local importance.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
A large face polychrome brick and stuccoed, Italianate styled house with a slated, hip roof and cast-iron return verandah and portico. The verandah is ornate with grouped posts, a central gable with foliated frieze and intricate iron friezes between posts and under the bressumer: it was manufactured by A. McLean. Quarry tiles decorate the verandah and encaustic tiles continue into the hall. A ceramic ventilating keystone is used in the dark voussoirs of window arches and patterned glass sidelights enrich the doorway. Internally, the front rooms have panelled ceilings with stencilled and gilded designs to the ribbing, roses and coves. A mature garden surrounds and obscures the house; a sympathetic fence is at the frontage, with a mature hedge.
Generally original.
Streetscape
Similarly large and Italianate in style, to other isolated villas interspersed with later development along Maribyrnong Road. (see 75 Maribyrnong Road) but obscured from the street by the mature garden.Heritage Study and Grading
