Statement of Significance
The house at 12 Kings Avenue, St. Arnaud, has significance as a relatively intact example of a timber Victorian Italianate style. The style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th century. At an early period, the house was occupied by a Mrs. Punshon (nee Wheeler). Although altered, the house at 12 Kings Avenue is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th century and it demonstrates original and appropriate design qualities of a Victorian Italianate style. These qualities include the main hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the pyramidal window bay and ogee form verandah that project towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, two unpainted brick chimneys with multi-corbelled tops, modest eaves with worked timber brackets, timber framed full length double hung windows, timber framed doorway and panelled door with side and high lights, and the verandah column and cast iron verandah valance. Overall, the house at 12 Kings Avenue is of LOCAL significance.
