Statement of Significance
REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010
What is significant?
The c1861 house with the c1887 additions and the surrounding site to the title boundaries.
How is it significant?
The house is historically and aesthetically significant to the Shire of Nillumbik.
Why is it significant?
The house is historically significant as a rare surviving example of the modest homes built within the early township of Little Eltham (Criteria A, B & E). The house is historically significant because John Rawlings, the house's original owner, was the lessee of the Glasgow Arms hotel in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, and because from 1872 until the turn of the century, the house was associated with the butcher, labourer and gardener, William Crellin (Criterion H).
BICK STUDY, 1992
Possibly constructed or incorporating parts from circa 1861, this weatherboard house also has historical significance as a surviving example of the modest homes built within the early township of Little Eltham. Number 88 Pitt Street as historical associations with its first owner, hotel lessee John Rawlings, as well as the second owner William Crellin, butcher, labourer and gardener (from 1872 until the turn of the century).
A detailed examination of this building should be undertaken to determine what, if anything of the 1861 dwelling survives. The resources available to this Study prevented such an inspection being undertaken.
