The former Telegraph Office, Leslie Street, Stawell, has significance as the first Post Office erected on this site then known as Pleasant Creek. The front gable roof form and and rear roof, together with the window locations, ventilator, window hood and verandah decoration all form part of the design of 1860, which originally had an identical gabled wing on the other side. The hipped end to the rear roof form and possibly the windows reflect the changes made to the building in the early 20th century.
The former Telegraph Office is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of both Victorian and interwar styles. These qualities include the recessed hipped roof form, together with a gable roof that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the single storey height, horizontal weatherboard wall construction, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, wide eaves, timber framed and double hung tripartite windows with the wider central windows having six paned upper sashes, and the decorative features (timber verandah columns and fretwork, window hood and timber brackets on the front gable end and the gable ventilator).
The former Telegraph Office is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with infrastructure developments in the Pleasant Creek/Stawell area during the height of the goldrush in the late 1850s and early 1860s. The surviving building was constructed in 1860, with the earlier Post Office relocated from Commercial Street and attached to the building. Although altered in the early 20th century, the surviving section of the building represents Stawell's only Telegraph and Post Office from 1860 until the opening of the new building in Main Street in 1875.
The former Telegraph Office is socially significant at a LOCAL level. Although no longer used as a telegraph or post office, the building is still recognised by sections of the Stawell community for its previous function.
Overall, the former Telegraph Office is of LOCAL significance. |
