Statement of Significance
The house at 8 Inkerman Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled residential streetscapes of Inkerman Street between Queens Avenue and Canterbury Street and of the adjacent Queens Avenue. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th century. Although partially altered (due mainly to the removal of the original verandah columns), the house at 8 Inkerman 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 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 skillion verandah form. Other intact qualities include the red painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, ashlar block profile weatherboard cladding to the main elevations, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding to the secondary elevations, two elongated rendered brick chimneys with incised ribbing, straps and corbelled tops, narrow eaves with dentillated timber brackets and larger paired timber brackets, and the timber framed, triple light, double hung windows that are symmetrically arranged on the front facade. Overall, the house at 8 Inkerman Street is of LOCAL significance.
