Statement of Significance
The house at 12 Mill Street makes a significant contribution to the single storey, Victorian styled residential Queens Avenue streetscape. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house at 12 Mill Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, 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 the hipped bullnosed verandah that projects towards the Mill street frontage. Other intact qualities include the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top, narrow eaves with worked timber brackets, central entrance, flanking timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, and the cast iron verandah decoration (valances and brackets). The substantial palm tree in the front garden also contributes to the significance of the place. Overall, the house at 12 Mill Street is of LOCAL significance.
