Statement of Significance
The early twentieth century style of the house at 28 Dundas Street suggests that it was constructed in the early 20th century (1910 -1925). Although altered by the infilling of part of the verandah, the side skillion addition and the new verandah balustrade, the house appears externally to be substantially intact.
The house at 28 Dundas Street is architecturally and historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the early 20th century and the development of St Arnaud at this time and it demonstrates original design qualities of early twentieth century housing. These qualities include the single storey height, and the dominant gambrel roof form with minor gables that project at the front and side. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the horizontal weatherboard cladding, the corrugated iron roof cladding, the wide eaves, the chimney, the timber framed, double hung windows in pairs and singularly, the timber framed front doorway with timber and glazed door and sidelight, and the decorative features (timber verandah brackets, columns and timber joinery simulating shingling in the gables).
Overall, the house at 28 Dundas Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 28 Dundas Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 28 Dundas Street, St Arnaud is set back at from the street by a moderate distance on a slightly rising site. The house has a large enveloping roof of gambrel and gable forms. The main gambrel roof extends to form the roof of the return verandah which is terminated by the extending gable roofed wings. The roof is clad in corrugated steel. There is a large painted brick chimney to one side.
The walls are of square edged weatherboards with the gable ends marked by insets supported on short rafter ends. The side gable has the lower section of the gable end marked with timber strapping and flat sheet cladding. The overhanging gable eaves are supported on timber struts.
The entry door is near the centre of the front facade and has a side light. The windows are relatively narrow timber double hung sashes in pairs on the front facade and a single window in the side gable. The verandah posts have decorative fretwork brackets.
The return verandah has been built in, there is a skillion roofed addition to one side and the verandah balustrade would appear to be a recent addition.
