Craigellachie', a Victorian mansion was apparently erected in two stages for 1873 for Scottish born pastoralist and politician William Pearson. A formally designed conservative classical style two storey house is fronted by a later, more ornate, asymmetrically planned single storey addition with tower and perimeter iron verandah in an elaborate variation of the ubiquitous Italianate mansion house model.
'Craigellachie' of unknown authorship ( Identified by MMDB as Sydney W Smith) and uncertain date, is a building of importance as a comparatively fine surviving example of late Victorian era Italianate style mansions which proliferated in suburban Melbourne 1870-1890. The house is notable for the quality of the architectural details, tiled floors, opulent interior and dominant Italianate tower and was for many years the town house of William Pearson, prominent public figure and celebrated racing enthusiast.
'Craigellache' originally fronting Inkerman Street and now on a much reduced site has been partially subdivided into apartments. the essential architectural qualities of the house are intact.
