| Last updated on - November 10, 2005 Glenholme, developed c.1874 as the suburban villa of a Ballarat merchant John Joseph Goller, and maintain with a remarkable degree of intactness to the present is of statewide significance: - As an intact example of a suburban villa garden, amongst the best surviving examples in the state (and also nationally); key attributes include the layout/plan of the garden (including plan form and division between pleasure, productive and service functions), the mature exotic trees, the sunken lawn, the complementary relationship between house and garden, the range of horticultural features (including the wisteria on the verandah, the clipped box hedges, floral displays and vegetable garden), the hedged garden beds and shrubberies, the fence and gate, the outbuildings and the large size of the block (unchanged from the date of development of the property); - For its outstanding collection of trees, including many mature exotic specimens which are more typical of a botanic garden than a suburban villa garden; - As a major component in an important precinct of villas, ranging in date from mid-Victorian to Edwardian (and even inter-war towards the lake); the relationship between this 'suburban' location and the business area of the city is also clearly demonstrated by Goller's development of his residential property and his warehouse in Lydiard Street; - Historically, for its connection with pioneering Ballarat families, especially Goller and Cuthbert, and its strong links with other Ballarat buildings such as J.J. Goller's warehouse (Lydiard Street) and Cuthbert House (Mair Street). Probable national significance of the garden has not been investigated as part of this report nor has the individual significance of the residence.
