Statement of Significance
What is Significant?
The house, constructed in 1869 by John Dollman, at 185 Cecil Street, Williamstown. The house at 185 Cecil Street, Williamstown is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay. Historically, it is significant as one of a small number of pre-1870 houses in Williamstown and is therefore important for its ability to illustrate an important phase of development of the city when it was the main port of Melbourne. (AHC criteria A4, B2 and D2) Aesthetically, although altered it is significant as a recognisable early cottage that retains its distinctive form and detail such as chimneys. (AHC criteria E1)
