Statement of Significance
A house of 1857-8 by the prominent Geelong architects Backhouse & Reynolds, for Charles Kernot, pharmacist, politician and amateur engineer; and for that date a rare example of full-blown Italianate desidgn, with an asymmetrical composition; triple window motifs at ground and first floor level, the lower one capped with a classical cornice and delicate scrollwork motif; corner pilasters treated as margin drafted ashlar blockwork; the eave carried on scrolled brackets almost of the scale of consoles; and other decorative details including panels of vermiculation, and of linked circles in the upper window spandrels. The design is in many respects reminiscent of the illustrations in E L Tarbuck's Builder's Practical Director of c. 1855-7 (such as plates 25 ,49 and 71).
