Statement of Significance
The florid polychromatic mansion is held to have been completed by 1877 (date remains unconfirmed) for pastoralist John King, the builder being William Allen of Rosedale. Planned by an unknown architect in an H formation, this single storey mansion house is an eclectic derivation of the Dutch and North Italian Renaissance fused with the Lombardic Romanesque.
'Nambrook' with prominent dutch gables, squat central romanesque tower, segmental arched arcade, canted bay windows and strident polychromy, is the most eclectic, picturesque brick mansion in rural Victoria. The complex is adorned with skillfully designed details in a manner unparalleled in Victoria. John King, grandson of P G King, third Governor of New South Wales, was a pre-eminent district pastoralist and Gippsland pioneer.The interior is of equal note.
'Nambrook' is maintained in excellent condition and is intact.
