Statement of Significance
The house at 28 Canterbury Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The transitional Federation and Inter-War Bungalow design of the house suggests that it was constructed in the early 20th century, probably in the 1920s.
The house at 28 Canterbury Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the early 20th century, and it demonstrates original design qualities of a transitional Federation and Inter-War Bungalow style. These qualities include the single storey height, gambrel roof form and the rear minor gable that projects to the side and the broken back return verandah. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, rendered brick wall construction, unpainted brick chimneys with bands and dentillated tops, wide verandah eaves with exposed timber rafters, timber framed double hung windows arranged in bays, as single windows and in banks of three, window leadlighting and stained glass, gable infill (battening, panelling and ventilators) and the verandah valances and columns. The brick and stucco front fence also contributes to the significance of the place.

House, 28 Canterbury Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 28 Canterbury Street has visual connections to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The house on this site is generally in accord with the form and setbacks of the significant houses visually connected to it. The transitional Federation and Inter-War Bungalow design of the house suggests that it was constructed in the early 20th century, probably in the 1920s, and it is a distinctive example of this style in St Arnaud.
The site at 28 Canterbury Street is bound at the front by an early brick and stucco fence, decorated by a band of soldier coursing and tapered stucco capping. The house has a sizeable setback of approximately 6 metres with narrow side setbacks and a side driveway. The front garden is typically rudimentary for the area, having an open lawn area and perimeter garden beds.
The single storey, rendered brick, the transitional Federation and Inter-War Bungalow styled house is characterised by a gambrel roof form, together with a minor rear gable that projects at the side and a return broken back verandah. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Four early unpainted brick chimneys with brick bands and dentillated brick tops adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed timber rafters are features of the verandah eaves. A later extension is visible at the rear, as is some verandah infill.
The early timber framed windows are double hung and are comprised in projecting bays, in banks of three, or as single windows. They are decorated with early stained glass and leadlighting.
Another early feature of the design is the gable infill (battening, panelling and ventilators). The timber verandah columns and valances appear to be have been introduced, and are appropriate
