Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

No. 5 Stevens Street is of historical and architectural/aesthetic significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. Historically, the property relates to the earliest phase of development in Queenscliff, and was associated with both the pilot's service, including the colourful sea pilot William Rockett, and the Queenscliff Grammar School, through William Behan. The dwelling, which is substantially intact externally, is also significant as one of a number of generously proportioned, double-fronted, single-storey and verandahed mid to late nineteenth century dwellings on substantial allotments in Queenscliff. The presentation of the property is enhanced through its landscaped setting and deep garden setback, including the Norfolk Island pine tree.
