Statement of Significance
The house at 19 Jennings Street, Stawell, has significance as a predominantly intact example of a rudimentary Victorian Picturesque style. Possibly built in the second half of the 19th century, the house reflects residential developments in Stawell for this period. The house appears to be in good-fair condition when viewed from the street. The house has been demolished since the completion of the heritage study.
The house at 19 Jennings Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell during the second half of the 19th century. It also demonstrates original design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian Picturesque style. These qualities include the double gabled roof forms that traverse the site, together with the hipped concave verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, modest scale, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, corrugated sheet metal roof cladding, unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top, narrow eaves, stop chamfered timber columns, decorative cast iron valances and brackets, timber framed front doorway with highlight above, timber framed double hung windows and the decorative timber bargeboards on the gable ends. The front timber picket fence, although substantially deteriorated, also contributes to the significance of the place.
Overall, the house at 19 Jennings Street is of LOCAL significance. Now demolished

House. 19 Jennings Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 19 Jennings Street appears to be set on a contextually large allotment for the area. It has a modest front setback and one very wide side setback characterised by opening grassed areas and mature trees and shrubs. The front is bound by an early flat timber picket fence and a scrolled metal gate.
The single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, rudimentary Victorian Picturesque styled house is characterised by double gabled roof forms that traverse the site, together with a hipped concave verandah that projects towards the street frontage. There is also a skillion wing at the rear. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel (with a substantially deteriorated deep red paint finish). An early unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It has introduced stop chamfered timber columns and decorative cast iron valances and brackets.
The symmetrical composition of the front facade is accentuated by the early central doorway and flanking windows. The timber framed doorway has an early highlight above, and the flanking windows are timber framed and double hung.
Another early feature of the design is the decorative timber bargeboards on the gable ends.
