Statement of Significance
The house at 8 Brisbane Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The simple Victorian style and construction details of this house suggests that it was erected in the mid to late 19th century (c.1860s-1880s). Although partially altered and extended, the house at 8 Brisbane Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the mid to late 19th century, and it demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, simple dominant hipped roof form and return skillion verandah that envelopes three sides of the house. Other intact qualities include the lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, mud brick and stucco wall construction, squat brick chimney with a corbelled top, narrow eaves, and the timber framed double hung windows symmetrically arranged about a four panelled door with toplight. Overall, the house at 8 Brisbane Street is of LOCAL significance.
