Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Residence and its setting at 15 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh.
How is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 15 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical and aesthetic significance to the Shire of Moorabool.
Why is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 15 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical significance for its reflection of the Inter-War period of residential development stimulated by the expansion of the orcharding industry. The orcharding industry expanded around Bacchus Marsh in the Inter-War period due to a number of factors, including the introduction of cool storage, the mechanisation of fruit grading, improved irrigation methods, use of bulk handling techniques, and after 1932, preferential entry into the British markets for fresh, dried and tinned fruit. The intactness and representative nature of the building gives the building historical significance as a representative embodiment of a way of life in the 1930s. The property has historical significance for its associations with the prominent Dugdale family. The residence was built for Hannah Louise Dugdale, after the death of her husband William Dugdale.
The Residence and its setting at 15 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of aesthetic significance as an excellent intact and representative example of a late Inter-War Bungalow demonstrating many key features of the style and distinctive brickwork. Constructed in 1939, the residence features particularly decorative brickwork detailing consisting of terracotta wall-hung tiles, flat tapestry bricks and clinker bricks in a soldier course at window head height. The verandah is a brick arcade with decorative brick geometric motifs in the pillars and balustrade. The hipped roof with broad vented eaves and terracotta Marseilles tile cladding is typical of the era.
