The former Comfort Station in the Halls Gap Caravan Park has significance as a predominantly intact example of a rustic interwar Bungalow styled building constructed in 1939 to a design by the Public Works Department. The design and construction of the building has a direct affinity with the popular and influential rustic designs by the early 20th century National Park Service Architects in the U.S.A., as identified in the gateways, museums, picnic shelters and other structures in the Yellowstone, Mt. Rainier, Glacier, Yosemite, Sequoia, Petrified Forest, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Parks. Although converted into two units, the former Comfort Station at Halls Gap is largely externally intact and in good condition.
The former Comfort Station is architecturally significant at a STATE level. Although slightly altered, it still demonstrates original design qualities of a rustic interwar Bungalow style, drawing on the early 20th century designs of the National Park Service Architects in the U.S.A. These qualities include the long gable roof form that traverses the site, together with the central minor gables that project at the front and rear, and the two minor gables that project at the sides. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, exposed timber log rafters and vertical timber sidings in the gable ends, random rubble and timber log wall construction, central random rubble chimney, timber framed multi-paned double hung windows, timber doors (each with 8 glazed panels) and the narrow timber gable ventilators.
The former Comfort Station is historically significant at a STATE level. It is associated with the development of park infrastructure by the Victorian Public Works Department in the early 20th century. In particular, this building was constructed in 1939 to a design by the Public Works Department. It was also in 1939 when a similar Comfort Station was constructed on the foreshore at Lorne. The design of the Comfort Station has a direct affinity with the National Park Service architecture in the U.S.A., which drew on the interwar Bungalow style in a rustic manner by the use of native wood and stone to create a truly "native style" compatible with the landscape. Similar early 20th century structures are situated in the Yellowstone, Mt. Rainier, Glacier, Yosemite, Sequoia, Petrified Forest, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Parks. One of the most influential National Park Service architects included Herbert Maier, who designed the Madison Trailside Museum (1929) and Norris Geyser Trailside Museum (1929) in the Yellowstone National Park.
The former Comfort Station is socially significant at a STATE level. It is recognised and valued by the Victorian community as a well-known place of recreation. Overall, the former Comfort Stati |
