Statement of Significance
The house at 60 Canterbury Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The Victorian style of this house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
The house at 60 Canterbury Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it demonstrates original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, simple dominant hipped roof form, and the hipped bullnosed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the green painted galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, unpainted brick chimney with banding and a multi-corbelled top, narrow eaves with timber brackets, recessed central entrance with a four panelled timber door and sidelights, flanking timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, and the cast iron verandah columns with decorative capitals. The substantial palm tree at the front also contributes to the significance of the place.
Overall, the house at 60 Canterbury Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 60 Canterbury Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 60 Canterbury Street has visual connections to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The Victorian style of the house on this site suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
The house has a front setback of approximately 5 metres, and similarly scaled side setbacks with driveway along the side leading to a rear garage. The front rudimentary garden is typical for the area, being characterised by open grassed areas and by the landmark substantial palm tree.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple dominant hipped roof form, together with a hipped bullnosed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in green painted galvanised corrugated iron. An early unpainted brick chimney with banding and a multi-corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs with timber brackets are features of the eaves.
The symmetry of the design is emphasised by the early timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, which are arranged about a recessed central entrance having an early four panelled timber door with sidelights.
The early verandah appears to be missing its cast iron valance and bracket decoration, although the flanking cast iron columns with decorative capitals are early. The central tubular steel verandah columns are recent additions.
