House at 115 Victoria Street

The house and front fence at 115 Victoria Street, Williamstown are of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.

Historically, the house was for a long period the home of one of Williamstown's foremost latter-day pilots, outliving the town's association with that profession and hence its link with its more glorious maritime mid-nineteenth century past. (AHC criteria A4 D2 and H1)

Aesthetically, it is significant as a locally rare and near original example of an Interwar house with Moderne influences that displays skilful massing and uncommon detailing in an otherwise typical suburban genre, which is complemented by an original and related fence and garden setting. (AHC criteria B2, E1 and F1)
