Historic Bindley House
Bindley House was constructed in c.1862 for the surgeon, Dr Frank Lane Bindley, who was a prominent member of the early community of Kilmore. A surgeon in Kent for four years before his arrival in Australia, he was involved with the Wesleyan Methodist Church, the hospital and the library committee in Kilmore from the late 1850s. He died in 1870 at the age of 40.
Bindley House is a classically derived, brick building with hip slate roof and return verandah, which terminates in symmetrical wings at the rear. A substantial bluestone lower ground floor is located at the rear and a bluestone retaining wall supports the front verandah. Distinctive detailing includes panelled timber verandah columns with circle and arch motifs, and a keyhole valance between supports; heavily corniced, stuccoed chimneys with arcaded shafts and paned glazed French doors which lead to the verandah.
Bindley House is on the Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) and is classified by the National Trust.
