Statement of Significance
This remains of the stone stables structure, probably erected in the 1850s or 1860s, are of architectural, historical and scientific significance to the St. Arnaud district. The stone wall is a landmark on the Wimmera Highway and evokes the coaching era when the district was settled. The use of local stone in its construction is notable. It indicates the early settlement of land in the area for agricultural and mining purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended. RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE: Conservation Desirable
