Statement of Significance

The house at 19 Skene Street, Stawell, makes a significant architectural and visual contribution to the predominantly late 19th and early 20th century residential area. It is significant at a CONTRIBUTORY level, being associated with residential developments in Stawell in the early 20th century and it demonstrates some important design qualities of a Late Edwardian/interwar Bungalow style. These qualities include the recessed gambrel roof form, projecting gable roof, front verandah formed under the main gambrel, asymmetrical composition, single storey height, red-painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, broad eaves and exposed timber rafters, paired timber framed casement windows with transoms above, stuccoed gable infill and the brick chimney. The mature palm tree at the front also contributes to the significance of the place.
