The Queensland Heritage Council found that Whyembah was significant because it "demonstrates the principal characteristics of an 1890s ornate timber house in Toowoomba, and as a particularly picturesque house in a tree-lined street which includes a number of decorated timber houses, it exhibits aesthetic characteristics valued by the community" and it "illustrates the pattern of Toowoomba's development as a regional centre for southern Queensland".
It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 11 June 1993.[1]
