AR MBAILE FEIN - Historical Australian Themes
In the 1880s, the prospect of rail transport, promised first to Alphington, and then to Heidelberg and Ivanhoe, provided the impetus for land speculators and developers in the area and saw the district's fortunes appear to take a turn for the better. These estates were marketed as high quality residential subdivisions. In suburbs such as Ivanhoe and Heidelberg, however, much of this land remained unsold, and relatively few houses were actually constructed following the land sales of the 1880s. Ar Mbaile Fein is one of a small group of late Victorian villas erected at that time.

AR MBAILE FEIN - Physical Description 1
BUILDING: Ar Mbaile Fein is a double-fronted, weatherboarded house with a return cast-iron verandah and a hipped, corrugated iron roof. The entrance door has a highlight and sidelights and is placed off centre on the street elevation to allow for a window bay on the western half of the elevation. Pairs of timber bracket support the eaves. A gently scalloped spade-head picket fence and gate survive at the frontage. LANDSCAPE: Clipped hedges, topiary, and a trellised side garden-gate lend a period feeling to this well preserved 19th-century house.
