Statement of Significance
The house at 51A-53 Queens Avenue makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled streetscape. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century. Although partially altered, the house at 51A-53 Queens Avenue 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 simple dominant hipped roof form, and the return ogee form verandah. Other intact qualities include the red painted galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, two unpainted brick chimneys with dentillated and corbelled tops, narrow eaves with paired timber brackets, central entrance with four panelled timber door and timber framed side and toplights, flanking timber framed, triple light, east bay window, double hung windows, and the cast iron verandah decoration (valances and round columns with pedestals and decorative capitals). Overall, the house at 51A-53 Queens Avenue is of LOCAL significance.
