Statement of Significance

The house at 42 Alma Street Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled residential streetscapes of Alma Street between Canterbury and McMahon Streets and of the intersecting Queens Avenue. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.

The house at 42 Alma Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with the residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it demonstrates some original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, simple dominant hipped roof form and the hipped roof verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, brick chimney, narrow eaves with decorative diamond panels, paterae and timber brackets, centrally located four panelled timber door with side and toplights, flanking timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, cast iron verandah decoration (valances and brackets) and the turned timber verandah columns.
