Statement of Significance
The rudimentary Victorian style of the cottage at 3 Queens Street suggests that it was constructed in the second half of the 19th century. Largely intact, the cottage is situated on original Lot 13 of Section 12 that had been purchased by T. Bray in 1898 but the site may have been under an early mining lease and sold by the Crown at this later date with the house already erected.
The cottage at 3 Queens Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in St. Arnaud in the second half of the 19th century, and it demonstrates original design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian style. These qualities include the single storey height, the simple gable roof form that traverses the site, the rear skillion wing and the skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the green-painted galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, the horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, the timber verandah floor, the timber framed double hung windows symmetrically arranged about a central doorway and the timber verandah columns.
Overall, the cottage at 3 Queens Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 3 Queen Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The cottage at 3 Queen Street is located on a corner allotment and has a large front and side setback forming mostly open grass. There are some trees along one side of the property. The front is bound by a rudimentary wire fence which has an introduced timber gate and timber pergola structure at its centre. A small timber outbuilding is situated at the rear of the house.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, rudimentary Victorian styled cottage is characterised by a simple gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage, and a rear skillion wing and side amenities extension. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron painted green. Two unpainted brick chimneys adorn the roofline and are situated to one side. The symmetrically arranged timber framed double windows flanking a central doorway at the front appear to be early. The verandah has an early timber floor, is supported by recent but appropriate square timber columns and is decorated by an introduced vertical boarded valance. An infill wall on one end of the verandah has been introduced.
