Historically, the house is believed to be one of the oldest dwellings in Port Welshpool. Documents show that the building was constructed as early as c.1895 by Mr. John Smith Robertson of Port Welshpool, a fisherman by trade. The house at 6 Turnbull Street is an intact, representative and rare example of an early fisherman's cottage, which would have once been common in the Port Welshpool area. As such, it demonstrates the influence of the significant fishing industry on the early development of Port Welshpool and the coastal areas of the South Gippsland Shire. (Criterion A)
Aesthetically, this house is an intact example of a symmetrical Victorian villa in the coastal area of the Shire. In addition, this building significantly contributes to the aesthetic and historic character of Turnbull Street and the overall character of Port Welshpool. (Criterion E)
