Statement of Significance

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.
