Seaview Guest house, 86 Hesse Street, Queenscliff

Seaview House is of local historical and architectural significance as a good and externally relatively intact example of a late nineteenth century and early twentieth century seaside resort guest house in Queenscliff. The building is also of historical interest for its use for a period as a coffee palace, reflecting the impact of the temperance movement at the end of the nineteenth century. While not of outstanding architectural/aesthetic quality, Seaview House is important as a corner building of some presence. It marks a transition of scale and form, from the Hesse Street north commercial character, to the residential area in the south and to its west.
