Statement of Significance

Potters Cottage has high local significance as a rare remaining example of the kerosene tin houses built by many Victorian farming families during the 1920s and 1930s Depression years. The Cottage is architecturally significant for its unusual combination of humble construction materials and the careful attention paid to the decorative detail in its unusually fine timber detailing to the verandah and roofline.
