Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009
Kent House is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. It is historically significant as a substantial historic residence in Queenscliff, which supported an earlier and similarly substantial house. Prominent owners associated with the property, if not specifically the 1909 house, included Melbourne manufacturer William Wright, the Hon Thomas C Harwood (member of the Legislative Council from 1899-1912), and George Admans, former Queenscliffe Borough Mayor and owner of the Grand Hotel. Architecturally, although additions and modifications have made it difficult to read the original 1909 components, Kent House retains important elements including the prominent observatory tower over the front entrance, with its distinctive detailing and treatment; and the post-supported verandah which wraps around most of the exterior albeit it is partly enclosed. The generous grounds/setting to the house also enhance its presentation, and an appreciation of it as a significant residence. |
