Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009
No. 66 Learmonth Street is of historical and architectural significance to the Borough of Queenscliffe. Historically, it is a comparatively early example of a commercial building in Queenscliff, which retains the contrasting form and presentation of the two building components (shop and residence). The combination of commercial premises and attached residence is demonstrative of the way of life of such businesses in the township in the nineteenth century. The allotment is additionally of interest for its connection to George Tobin, Port Phillip's first official pilot, and to the Gane family, who operated a butcher's shop there for years. Architecturally, no. 66 Learmonth Street is a substantially externally intact example of a comparatively early commercial building, with its simple form and no setback to the street; the attached residence is less intact externally. The shop exterior is also resolved and finely detailed for a modest commercial building, enhanced by its trabeated asymmetrical facade with corniced parapet, and arched shop windows with fanlights, flanking the front entrance. |
