Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The bluestone house with timber verandah at 8 Sugarloaf Road Axedale built c.1920 is significant.
How is it significant?
8 Sugarloaf Road, Axedale is of local architectural significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.
Why is it significant?
The house at 8 Sugarloaf Road is notable because of the use of local basalt in such a late design. Usually by the Edwardian and Interwar period houses were commonly built of brick or timber, as basalt was considered unfashionable. An abundance of local stone probably influenced the decision to build in this material. The verandah decoration in timber is of an unusual design in an open pattern constructed of fine timber sections featuring curves and lattice work. Criterion E
