Statement of Significance

The house at 6 Seaby Street, Stawell, makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled streetscape of Seaby Street between the railway line and Johnson Street. The Edwardian design of this house suggests that it was constructed in the early 20th century.

The house at 6 Seaby Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell in the early 20th century, and it demonstrates original design qualities of an Edwardian style. These qualities include the recessed steeply pitched hipped roof form, together with a minor gable and hipped roof verandah that project towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the asymmetrical composition, single storey height, horizontal weatherboard wall construction, painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, two unpainted brick chimneys with multi-corbelled tops, modest eaves, pair of timber framed double hung windows under the front gable, single double hung windows at the sides, and the gable infill (battening and panelling).

Overall, the house at 6 Seaby Street is of LOCAL significance.
