The house at 54-56 Smith Street, Stawell (formerly part of the Stawell Grammar School), has significance for its associations with the Stawell Grammar School established in 1869 and which closed in c.1912. Designed by Robert Alexander Love, architect, the building was constructed as the private residence of the owner and headmaster, R.S. Bradley in 1870-71, with the two storey wing added in 1874. The house also represents a reasonably intact example of the Victorian style, and is in fair condition with signs of rising damp, wall cracks and verandah deterioration.
The house (formerly part of the Stawell Grammar School) at 54-56 Smith Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the single storey hipped roof form that traverses the site, brick wall construction (but not the overpainting), narrow eaves and decorative timber brackets, brick chimneys with projecting coursings, central arched doorway with four panelled timber door and sidelights and fanlight (which reads "Roseleigh") and the flanking shallow-arched timber framed double hung window. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the projecting hipped concave verandah, stop chamfered verandah posts with projecting timber mouldings, timber valance frame, two storey gabled and hipped roof form, galvanised corrugated steel roof cladding, decorative timber gable bargeboards and turned timber finial, and the general picturesque and asymmetrical composition. The remnant 19th century landscaping and visual connections of the former Grammar School room also contribute to the significance of the place.

It also has associations with Richard B. Chater, headmaster from 1879, and with the architect, Robert Alexander Love.
