Why is it significant?

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

Bronte is of historical and aesthetic/architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. The building dates to the earliest phase of construction in the township, and is associated with the early pilot service. It is also evocative of the architectural character bestowed on Queenscliff by the pilots. The lookout tower is significant for being the best and perhaps the earliest example of a building element derived from the needs of the pilots.
