'Glen Cairn' comprising the homestead constructed c.1880 and the associated front garden layout, at 21-27 Robinson Road, Narre Warren North. How is it significant? 'Glen Cairn' is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Casey. Why is it significant? Historically, 'Glen Cairn, is significant as one of the most important and possibly the earliest homesteads in the district. It was originally part of the large farming property of Scottish pioneer, John Troup. It is one of four important brick farm houses in the district designed and built by the local architect and builder, GW Robinson and is comparable to Hillsley and Cleveland. It also has associations with two important district industries, mixed farming and dairying during the Troup ownership and, more recently, flower growing during the Lukies ownership. (AHC criteria A4, B2, D2 and H1) Aesthetically, the house is significant as an intact example of a Italianate villa by local architect GW Robinson and is notable for its convex verandah roof, tuckpointed brickwork, triple light windows, Italianate eave brackets, and for its complex front garden layout with curved paths. (AHC criterion E1) |
