Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The former Manse, constructed c.1888 for the Coburg Presbyterian Church, at 1 Deans Street, Coburg. The form, original external detailing and materials and siting of the house contribute to its significance.
Later alterations or additions to the house are not significant.
How is it significant?
The former Manse at 1 Deans Street, Coburg is of local historic and architectural significance to Moreland City.
Why is it significant?
Historically, it is significant for its important associations with the development of the Presbyterian Church in Coburg during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when it was occupied by Rev. Dr John Mathew, a person who is remembered for playing an active and important role in church and community life in Coburg. It is also significant as tangible evidence of the small degree of suburban development achieved in this part of Coburg during the late 19th century land boom, but prior to the economic crash of the 1890s. (Criterion A & H)
The house is architecturally significant as a fine and well-preserved example of a Victorian Italianate weatherboard villa. The high degree of external integrity enhances the significance of the house. (Criterion D)

MANSE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
This is a Victorian Italianate weatherboard house of typical design and layout with a hip iron roof with a projecting canted bay to the front and second hipped bay to the west side. The facade is clad in ashlar boards. The verandah, which returns along the long western elevation has a convex profile and a cast iron frieze. The windows are double hung sash, one in each side of the three-sided projecting bay and a pair beside the four-panelled front door, which has sidelights and highlights. There are several rendered chimneys. Other original detailing includes the paired eaves brackets. The house appears to be relatively deep, possibly comprising three or four main rooms off either side of the central hall rather than the usual two.
The house is in good condition and has a relatively high degree of external integrity. The verandah floor has been replaced in concrete, but the house otherwise appears intact when viewed from Deans Street and the side laneway. The view of the house at the front is partially obscured by a hedge along the front boundary.
