Statement of Significance

Group Statement of Significance: A more than usually intact group of public buildings, comprising an interesting court house of 1862 with a quasi-Lombardic gable treatment; a simple police residence of 1875; a standard lock-up of 1862 and the receipt and pay office of 1875. It is remarkable for primitive verandah brackets in the form of the Aeolic captial and for the corbelled window and door heads on the side flank. Supporting and surpassing these government buildings are the neighbouring Albert Hotel, a charming structure with a Palladian window of the form favoured in Daylesford and an intact wrought iron lamp bracket at the entrance; the bichrome (noncomformist church) on the west side and on the east the red brick St Andrew's Presbyterian Church of 1903-4, by Inskip and Butler and the Queen Anne manse by H H Kemp.
