Statement of Significance
The house at 54 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 slightly altered, the house at 54 Queens Avenue is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the asymmetrical and triple fronted composition, single storey height, series of hipped roof forms that traverse the site, and bullnosed return verandah. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, brick chimney with a corbelled top, narrow eaves with timber brackets and decorative diamond panelling and paterae, the front and side timber framed, triple light, double hung windows with timber window brackets below their sills, the bracketed timber drip mould above the rear side window, the main recessed entrance with four panelled timber door and timber framed side and toplights, the secondary timber framed doorway, the cast iron verandah decoration (valances and brackets) and the turned timber verandah columns. Overall, the house at 54 Queens Avenue is of LOCAL significance.
