Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

Clutha Cottage is of historical and aesthetic (architectural) significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe as an early and substantially intact example of a weatherboard cottage of the 1850s-60s, in the Domestic Gothic/Tudor Revival style. It relates to the earliest phase of development in Queenscliff and was built and occupied by William Pagan, a builder who played a prominent role in the administration of the Borough during its formative years. It is also significant as a rare surviving component of a group of similar buildings in the immediate vicinity associated with the pilots' service and other distinguished townspeople.
