Guntawang', formerly 'Belvue', is one of the original residences of the area, in the Federation Queen Anne style, and has cultural significance because: - it is closely associated with prominent business people for more than 7 decades; - it is one of the oldest residences in the district; - its extension demonstrates the changing space standards of such residences over the past century; - it is central to the Forrest Street west townscape precinct. The original Federation Queen Anne residence was a notable early example of its style, which has been visually overborne by a large extension. Much of the original residence is intact with a moderatelhighdegree of integrity. The original house and its extension demonstrate the changing space standards of different generations, for prominent business families. Part of cultural group Part oftownscape area

The original residence, 'Bellevue', was an early and typical single storey limestone bungalow built in Peppermint Grove around the turn of the century. The place is associatedwith prominent businessmen, as it belonged originally to Sidney Emanuel, (a business partner of Alexander Forrest). Later, between 1950 and 1960 'Bellevue' belonged to D.R.A Gair, of the Orient Steamship company, who represented the new wave of mercantile elite who came into Peppermint Grove in the 1950's. Some historical significance.
Modifications: Modified by G Burrell in 1970's and two storey extension, by D & M Jones in 1980's set beside single storey original.
