Statement of Significance
The house at 35 Bowen Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian and Edwardian styled streetscape in this section of the street. The transitional Late Victorian and Edwardian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the first decade of the 20th century. The house at 35 Bowen Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The house demonstrates original design qualities of a transitional Late Victorian and Edwardian style. These qualities include the symmetrical composition, the single storey height, the gambrel roof form that traverses the site, and the bullnosed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the lapped, grey-painted galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, the modest eaves with worked timber brackets, panels and paterae decoration, the timber framed double hung windows flanking a central timber door with sidelights, the turned timber verandah columns and the decorative cast iron verandah valances and brackets, and the distinctive roof ridge ornamentation. The site at 35 Bowen Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the early 20th century. In particular, this site is associated with Lot 3 of Section J3 that was sold to F. H. Crook in 1890, and with the later subdivision of the land under LP 4147, in late 1899 or early 1900. Overall, the house at 35 Bowen Street is of LOCAL significance.
