| What is significant? The homestead at 'Greenfields', constructed in 1907-08 for the Cahill family, at 915 Falls Road, Fish Creek is significant. It is a large double fronted late Victorian symmetrical timber villa. It has a corrugated iron M-hip roof with projecting gables at rear on both sides, each with decorative timber trusswork. The separate return convex verandah between the projecting gables is supported on timber posts with arched ladder valance (the valance to the front elevation is original - the valance to the side elevation has been added) and has a gablet over the entrance faced with pressed metal with an Art Nouveau pattern. The original four-panel door has sidelights and highlights and is flanked by tripartite windows. Other original windows in the side elevations are double hung sash and there is a further tripartite window in the south-facing gable. There are three corbelled brick chimneys. Non-original alterations and additions to the house and other buildings on the property are not significant. How is it significant? The homestead at 'Greenfields' is of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire. Why is it significant? Historically, it is associated with the pioneering Cahill family who were among the first selectors in the Fish Creek district and is representative of the more substantial houses built on farms once they had become established and profitable. The significance of the place is enhanced by its rarity values as one of the few known surviving pre-World War I homesteads in the Fish Creek district. (Criteria A, B, D & H) Aesthetically, it is a large and superior example of a Transitional Federation Villa, which retains notable detail to the verandah and is a well-known local landmark.
