| Registered as Victorian heritage |
| The house at 84 Maud Street, Geelong, has significance as a largely intact example of a transitional Late Victorian and Federation style. This house was built in 1902 for George Hobbs, engineer, and it was owned by the Hobbs family until 1923. The house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street. The house at 84 Maud Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It demonstrates original design qualities of a transitional Late Victorian and Federation style. These qualities include the complex roof forms, including the central hipped roof and projecting gables, and the broken back return verandah. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the asymmetrical composition, predominantly single storey height (from Maud Street, but higher at the rear), horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, rendered and unpainted red brick chimneys with vertical header strapping and terra cotta pots, modest eaves, timber framed double hung windows framed with moulded timber architraves, timber and glazed door, turned timber verandah columns with decorative capitals, timber framed verandah valance with cast iron decoration, timber verandah floor, timber gable brackets, iron finials and the gable infill (timber joinery simulating shingling). The front timber post and cast iron palisade fence also contributes to the significance of the place. The house at 84 Maud Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Geelong around the Federation period (c.1895-1915). Built in 1902, the house has associations with George Hobbs, an engineer and original owner. Other associations include the Henry Christopher, Timothy Lehane, Stephen Clark and the Bumpstead family, all owners of the property. Overall, the house at 84 Maud Street is of LOCAL significance.
