The house at 4 Dawson Street, Stawell, has significance as a predominantly intact example of an interwar Bungalow style. Possibly built in the c.1920s-1940s, modest design and detailing suggests that the construction of the building formed part of the State Savings Bank of Victoria's financial, design, and construction scheme which operated in accordance with the Victorian Housing Act of 1920 and Credit Foncier System. The house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street.
The house at 4 Dawson Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell in the early 20th century, and possibly with the State Savings Bank of Victoria's finance, design and construction scheme. It also demonstrates original design qualities of an interwar Bungalow style. These qualities include the broad gable roof form that traverses the site, together with the minor gable that projects towards the street frontage and the front verandah (that is an extension of the main roof), which extends across the minor gable to form a window hood. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the asymmetrical composition, single storey height, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, corrugated profile sheet metal roof cladding (but not the zincalume finish), brick chimney (but not the painted finish), wide eaves with exposed timber rafters, paired square timber verandah columns on brick piers (but not the painted finish to the piers), large timber bracket supporting the window hood end of the verandah, paired timber framed double hung windows with four paned upper sashes, timber framed front doorway and the stucco gable infill. The gabled timber garage also contributes to the significance of the place.
Overall, the house at 4 Dawson Street is of LOCAL significance. |
