Statement of Significance

The Peter Cuffley garden at the side also contributes to the significance of the place. The cottage is historically significant at a LOCAL. It is associated with the residential development of St. Arnaud at the end of the nineteenth century. Overall, the cottage, Napier Street, is of LOCAL significance.
