Statement of Significance
The house at 47 Canterbury Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th century. The house, known at an early date as 'Clifton Villa', at 47 Canterbury Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th century and with Ann Wheeler, a prominent member of the St Arnaud community for many decades who owned and lived in the house from 1900 until her death in 1912. It also demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the asymmetrical composition, single storey height, hipped roof form that traverses the site, the minor hipped roof that projects towards the street frontage and the return ogee form verandah. Other intact qualities include the grey painted galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, four unpainted brick chimneys with rendered bases and rendered and corbelled tops, narrow eaves with timber brackets and panels, timber framed double hung windows, timber framed entrance, timber verandah floor, and the cast iron verandah decoration (valances, brackets and round columns with decorative capitals). Overall, the house, known at an early date as 'Clifton Villa', is of LOCAL significance.
