Statement of Significance
The house at 29 Alma Street St Arnaud makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled residential streetscapes of Alma Street between Canterbury and McMahon Streets and of the intersecting Queens Avenue. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century. Although partially altered (due mainly to the side verandah infix and altered doorway), the house at 29 Alma Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and it demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the generally symmetrical composition, single storey height, simple dominant hipped roof form and return skillion verandah. Other intact qualities include the painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, brick chimneys (both the altered chimneys and the chimney with the dentillated and corbelled top), narrow eaves, centrally located front door, flanking timber framed, triple light, double hung windows and the cast iron verandah decoration (valances and brackets). Overall, the house at 29 Alma Street is of LOCAL significance.
