Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

Navestock is of high local historical significance as Queenscliff's first Mechanics Institute, as the site of the township's first Methodist Church services and as an early surviving building in Queenscliff. The building's original semi-public function is suggested by its high walls and low pitched hipped roof. Navestock is also of significance as a good and intact example of a modest mid-Victorian weatherboard residence. The picket fence is of an early pattern and may be of early origins.[i] Navestock is also of historical significance for its long association with the Priddles, a prominent local Queenscliff family.
