Description du lieu patrimonial
The Rathburn house is an imposing two-and-one-half-storey farmhouse with a large verandah and gabled roof, which sits on a prominent corner in East Richmond. Surrounded by agricultural fields in this rural section of Richmond, the house is a visual landmark.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Rathburn house is significant as one of the few remaining farmhouses in Richmond that illustrates the typical Richmond farm of the early twentieth century, characterized by a grand farmhouse with an associated barn and an agricultural landscape. The house is representative of a style often described as a 'gable-front' house that was very prevalent in the time leading up to the First World War, a common style of building that speaks to the everyday lives of farmers or the middle class.
