The timber house and two mud brick buildings, together with the exotic (including fruit) and native trees, 20-26 Main Street (Western Highway), Great Western, have significance as a relatively externally intact example of Late Victorian buildings associated with a Mr. Thomlinson, bee keeper and orchardist. The design of the house suggests that it and possibly the mud brick outbuildings, were constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
The timber house and two mud brick buildings are architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. The house, although altered and extended, still demonstrates original or appropriate design qualities of a Late Victorian style. These qualities include the double hipped (M) roof form, together with a later hip and bullnosed verandah that projects towards the front and side. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the hipped verandah at the rear, asymmetrical composition, single storey height, unpainted red brick chimney with a multi-corbelled top, and the narrow eaves. The mud brick outbuildings (with introduced cement render) are significant for their wall construction, hipped roof forms, timber framed four paned double hung windows, timber framed doorways and narrow eaves. The exotic trees (including the fruit) and the native trees also contribute to the significance of the place.
The timber house and two mud brick buildings are historically significant at a LOCAL level. They are associated with the development of Mr. Thomlinson's orchard and bee keeping enterprise from at least the early 20th century.
Overall, the timber house and two mud brick buildings at 20-26 Main Street (Western Highway) are of LOCAL significance. |
