Statement of Significance
The house at 27 Main Street, Stawell, has significance as a moderately intact example of the Victorian Picturesque style. Possibly built in the early 1870s for Richard Lemin, the house has experienced some alterations to the verandah, and is in fair condition (with a bargeboard missing, deteriorated brick base and deteriorated roof cladding). The house at 27 Main Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although slightly altered, it still demonstrates original design qualities of the Victorian Picturesque style. These qualities include the hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the gable roof and verandah that project towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the asymmetrical composition; single storey height; horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding; galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding; projecting faceted bay with early timber framed windows, decorative timber banding and brackets, narrow window pilasters and arched base panelling; modest eaves with paired timber brackets, paterae and panelling; and the face brick chimney. The house at 27 Main Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell in the 19th century. In particular, this house has possible associations with Richard Lemin, who had it built in the early 1870s. The house has long-term associations with the Lemin family, until approximately 1948. Overall, the house at 27 Main Street is of LOCAL significance.
