What is significant?
The timber house built c. 1858 at 74 Maggs lane is significant. The outbuildings are not significant. The timber house is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo. 74 Maggs lane is of historic significance as possibly one of the earliest remaining houses in the area , being possibly built in the late 1850s for John Hughes or Alexander Craig. Criterion A Although it has been altered, the high hipped roof form is characteristic of an early date of construction and is rare in the City of Greater Bendigo. It may be compared with 200 Bradleys Lane Costerfield, and 215 Mills Road, Axedale, both of which also display distinctive roof lines. Criterion B, D
