|
The house at 5 Lake Road, Stawell, has significance as a moderately intact example of a rudimentary Victorian style. Built in the second half of the 19th century, the design reflects some of the residential developments in Stawell at that time. The dwelling appears to be in fair condition when viewed from the street. There is evidence of wall cracking, possibly rising damp causing deterioration in the brickwork and rusting roof cladding. The house at 5 Lake Road is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell in the second half of the 19th century. The house also demonstrates some original design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian style. These qualities include the double hipped roof forms that traverse the site, together with the brick wall construction, narrow eaves and the decorative dichromatic brick chimney. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, galvanised corrugated steel roof cladding, central shallow-arched timber framed front doorway with highlight, and the shallow arched timber framed double hung windows. The rear modestly scaled parapeted gable wing also contributes to the architectural significance of the place. Overall, the house at 5 Lake Road is of LOCAL significance.
