Statement of Significance
The house at 10 Inkerman Street makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled residential streetscapes of Inkerman Street between Queens Avenue and Canterbury Street and of the adjacent Queens Avenue. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
The house at 10 Inkerman 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 ogee form verandah which projects towards the street frontage. Other intact qualities include the lapped galvanised corrugated iron, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, narrow eaves, unpainted brick chimney (although altered), centrally located four panelled timber door with side and toplights, flanking timber framed, triple light, double hung windows and the verandah decoration (notably the cast iron valances and brackets, and the timber columns with projecting capitals).
Overall, the house at 10 Inkerman Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 10 Inkerman Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 10 Inkerman Street has visual connections with other significant, predominantly Victorian styled, single storey houses in the residential streetscapes of Inkerman Street between Queens Avenue and Canterbury Street and of the adjacent Queens Avenue. The house is generally in accord with the form, scale, construction, style and setbacks of the significant houses visually connected to it. The Victorian style of this house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
The front of the site is bound by an introduced timber post and cyclone wire fence, with a central scrolled metal gate. The house has a typical front setback of approximately 5-6 metres and setbacks on either side of differing widths. The landscaping at the front is typically plain, and characterised by open grassed areas, small garden beds of shrubs and concrete paving.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple dominant hipped roof form, and an ogee form verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. An early unpainted brick chimney which adorns the roofline appears to have been altered. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves.
The timber framed, triple light, double hung windows on the front facade are another early feature of the design. These are symmetrically arranged about a central entrance featuring a four panelled timber door with early side and toplights.
Other early features of the design include the verandah decoration, notably the cast iron valances and brackets, and the timber columns with projecting capitals. The brick steps leading to the verandah appears to be a later addition.
