Fabric &trees associated with: - the Victorian & Edwardian-eras - John Ryder, and Charles Draper tenure How is it significant? Ryders former house is historically and architecturally significant to the Nillumbik Shire and Arthurs Creek: Why is it significant? Ryders former house is significant: - for its long association with local pioneering families such as Ryder and Draper, as underscored by the act of conservation of the building on a new site by the Draper family (Criterion A4) - for the rarity of the combination of its age and vertical split slab construction, being one of a small number of surviving dwellings using a construction type more commonly seen in Victorian-era sheds and outbuildings (Criterion B2) - as a good expression of the availability of cheap local timber in the early settlement period of Victoria and this district and the skill needed to utilise it (Criterion A4); The Barton Hill complex is locally significant historically: - for the long association with the pioneering Draper family - as an illustration of orchard farming in the early 20th century within the Shire, as illustrated by the stone outbuilding, the Edwardian-era timber farm house, and Ryders hut (rebuilt as its detached kitchen) (Criterion A4) - for the house design, as one of the most recently built houses designed with a free standing kitchen in Victoria (Criterion B2) | | 09 Jul 2013 | Use and development of the land for a dwelling | (Source: Nillumbik Shire Council, reference no: 285/2013/05P) |
