Statement of Significance
Architecturally, distinctive in the State context as a Bendigo design, the house has rich detailing from late last Century which is not matched by other examples.
Landscape has no heritage significance.
Historically, created for one of Bendigo s most successful 19th and early 20th Century businessmen, Alfred Day, and physically related by its proximity to his works, a once typical practice of owners of expanding businesses.

Building - Physical Description 1
Built in red brickwork, the house has the distinctive Bendigo decorated gables, with ornate fretted detailing set within the truss members. Cast-iron friezes are set in panels on the verandah and the brackets create an archway at the entry. Another Bendigo stylistic trademark is the pedimented window group on the projecting gabled bay. to Large brick and corrugated iron clad outbuildings are at the rear of the site, which were presumably part of Day's works, (further inspection needed). The landscape setting is sympathetic to the house construction date, (palms, and circular gravel drive).

External - Front fence removed (picket?).
Building - Physical Description 2
Landscape - The site inhabits an essentially new garden which is a reconstructed garden sympathetic to the site but of no individual significance. A Jacaranda and arch at the rear may be of historic significance.
