Statement of Significance
The house at 10 Raglan Street contributes to the single storey, predominantly Victorian styled residential character of the immediate area. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Although partially altered, the house at 10 Raglan 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 some original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, simple dominant hipped roof form and the skillion 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 a corbelled top, modest eaves with timber brackets, and timber framed double hung windows symmetrically arranged about a four panelled door with toplight.
Overall, the house at 10 Raglan Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 10 Raglan Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Conditions
The site at 10 Raglan Street has visual connections to the significant Christ Anglican Church and to the significant single storey Federation styled house (known as 'Waroongah') in Queens Avenue. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
The house has a small front setback of approximately 3 metres, which is unusual for the significant setbacks in the area. The front is bound by a recent steel wire mesh fence and the front garden is unassuming and characterised by an open grassed area and some shrubs. There is a side driveway with perimeter garden bed.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple dominant hipped roof form, and a skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in green painted galvanised corrugated iron. An unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Modest overhangs with timber brackets are features of the eaves.
The early timber framed double hung windows are symmetrically arranged about an early four panelled timber door. The verandah decoration and columns appear to be more recent additions but are appropriate.
