| A listed - State Significance STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE: Armytage House was constructed between 1858-60 for the pastoralist George Armytage. Armytage had considerable pastoral interests in Tasmania and the Portland Bay district of Victoria. Armytage moved to Geelong in the 1850s and bought the Hermitage site in Newtown from Geelongs former police magistrate. Armytage had a new Regency style house built, designed by architect Edward Prowse. Armytage House and grounds and outbuildings were subsequently bought by the Church of England in 1905 to become the Geelong Church of England Girls Grammar School. The stables were probably constructed in 1862, and are aligned north-south, backing onto Hermitage Road. The stables originally comprised three contiguous blocks, including a taller central section presumably with a loft level. The northernmost block was destroyed by fire in 1992. Construction is of sandstone, with bluestone quoins, lintels etc and slate roof. The stables were converted to classroom use after 1905. The date of construction of the single storey building running east-west is not known, but is probably much later than the stables block and almost certainly after c1870. This wing may even have been built by the Church of England. It is constructed as a brick carcass, faced on the north side with limestone ashlar and bluestone dressings, and has a slate roof. Both buildings have been modified, particularly the stables, of which one-third was destroyed by fire. When this building was converted to classrooms, there was a resulting loss of loft floors, and installation of new floors, dados, ceilings, trusses and windows. The later east-west wing has an intrusive late twentieth century ?pop-up? extension at the east end, and this end of the building has also been truncated by several metres. The former stables and outbuildings are of local historical significance for their association with Armytage House. |
