Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009
No.43 Mercer Street is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. It is historically significant as an early weatherboard dwelling dating to the 1850s-60s, and for its long association with the pilot service in Queenscliff, in particular with John Henry Barber who served as a pilot 34 years; he also served as a Borough Councillor. It is also significant as an example of a mid-nineteenth century house in Queenscliff which, although it has been altered, is still demonstrative of vernacular weatherboard construction of the period.
