Statement of Significance
The house at 64 Alma Street makes a significant contribution to the streetscape of single storey, Victorian and Edwardian styled houses visually connected to it. This house appears to have been constructed in the first decade of the 20th century, and is largely intact from the exterior. The house at 64 Alma Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a transitional Late Victorian and Edwardian style. These qualities include the single storey height, the gambrel roof form and the return bullnosed verandah thatprojects at the front and side. Other intact qualities include the lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, the unpainted brick chimney with a multi corbelled top, the modest boxed eaves with worked timber brackets, panelling and paterae decoration, the timber framed double hung windows arranged in pairs, the central panelled timber front door with highlight and sidelights, the timber verandah floor, and the other decorative features (turned timber verandah columns, cast iron verandah valances and brackets, and the roof ridge ornamentation). The house at 64 Alma Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the residential developments in St. Arnaud at the turn of the 20th century. In particular, this house is associated with Lot 15 of Section K2 that was sold to R. Eadie in 1901. Overall, the house at 64 Alma Street is of LOCAL significance.
