Statement of Significance
Completed in February 1890 as a country residence for the Rev. Alexander McCully, Irish Protestant clergyman and professor of elocution, and his father, John James McCully, public servant. Cullymont and Eyrecourt comprise what may be Victoria's largest semi-detached pair. This near intact and fully articulated example of the popular Italianate style is distinguished by its unusual form, its two-level arcades, a dividing tower and its splended interior. The house, by its rare joined form, directly expresses both the former dual occupancy and, by the coat of arms on the tower gates with its clan motto Viet Animo (By strength and Courage), recalls the McCully family occupancy.
