Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house at 41 Playne Street Heathcote, built of stone with a rendered finish in 1865 is significant. The extensions at the rear of the property are not significant, nor is the recently constructed fence. The house at 41 Playne Street is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo. The house at 41 Playne Street is primarily of historic significance for its early date of construction. Few buildings in Heathcote and the region around it can be established as being constructed much earlier than the mid 1860s and as such they represent a small group of buildings that demonstrate the earliest forms of habitation in the study area. Criterion A Although altered by the addition of new roof cladding and some extensions at the rear, 41 Playne Street represents a building form in the town that is relatively rare. It is constructed with a very small setback from the road which is rare in this street. The unusual distribution of door and windows demonstrates how the house has evolved and this is reflected in the use of stone and brick masonry which has then been concealed with render to maintain a uniform appearance to the facade.
