Statement of Significance
Beechworth is a picturesque nineteenth centure provincial town. It is a well preserved example of Government and private building, which resulted from the town's important historical role as the administrative and commercial centre of Victoria's north eastern goldfields. Beechworth was once significant for its position on an early overland route from Melbourne to Sydney,
The town is located sympathetically to a telegraphy, in an area of considerable lanscape interest. Set amidst forested, undulaling country, there remain many relics of the mining era in and about Beechworth. It is a rich field for industrial archaeology,
There are within the town a large number of historical and archatectually significant buildings. These display a quality of forms and richness of material and detail, which make Beechworth one of the most significant of Australia's goldfield towns. Of particular interest is the common usage of local granite in conservation. Its honey colour imparts a quality distinction to Beechworth.
The highlights of Beechworth are the grid of wide streets flanked with granite kerbing, the streetscape of considerable intergrity with groups of homogeneous buildings set off by mature elms and other erotic trees; and the remnants of historic Victorian gardens. About the town there are many examples of nineteenth century street furniture, signs and fences.
