Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009:

Constructed in two stages in the mid to late 1880s, Thanet Terrace is of local historical and architectural significance as an intact and representative example of a residential terrace of the 1880s in Queenscliff. The terrace is a form of construction commonly found within the Melbourne metropolitan area but is uncommon in Queenscliff. Thanet Terrace is a well-executed example of its type, featuring distinctive polychromatic brickwork and a finely detailed verandah. It is also of significance for its historical associations with original owner, George Admans, a prominent Queenscliff builder and hotelier, who also served as a councillor and Mayor.
