Statement of Significance
The house at 76 Main Street, Great Western, contributes to the significant, single storey, pitched roof central township area. This house has significance as a relatively externally intact example of a rudimentary Victorian style. The design of the house suggests that it was constructed in the second half of the 19th century.
The house at 76 Main Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Great Western in the 19th century, and it demonstrates some original or appropriate design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian style. These qualities include the simple gable roof form that traverses the site, together with the broken back skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, two unpainted brick chimneys on the west side, square timber verandah columns, centrally located doorway with early four panelled timber door, and the two timber framed double hung windows.
Overall, the house at 76 Main Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 76 Main Street, GREAT WESTERN - Physical Description 1
The house at 76 Main Street, Great Western, has visual connections with other single storey, pitched roof, timber houses, and the face brick St. Columbia's Roman Catholic Church. This house is set on an averaged-sized residential allotment, with substantial side setbacks and a front setback of approximately 6 metres. The landscaping of the site consists of open grassed areas with minimal plantings. There is an introduced carport at the rear of the site, and a round galvanised corrugated iron water tank at the rear of the house. The front is bound by an introduced hollow steel post and wire mesh fence, approximately 1200 mm high.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, rudimentary Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a broken back skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in recent galvanised corrugated iron. Two early unpainted brick chimneys are situated on the west side. Under the verandah (which is supported by introduced square timber columns) is an early centrally located doorway with early four panelled timber door. It is flanked by two early timber framed double hung windows.
